Voters were met with a new ballot system, comprised of paper ballots that were then scanned into a digital machine. 

This year’s turnout was over 20% lower than last year, however it’s on par with the 2015 municipal election – when the commissioners and mayor were last on the ballot. 

The unofficial results are below. Official results will begin to be counted on Friday.
