The vote totals for the 2013 City Council runoff election are in, with 29,204 ballots tabulated. Of the 29,204 ballots cast, 26,778 were early ballots. The voter turnout for this election was 23.08 percent.

Below are the updated unofficial results:

Council District 4: Justin Johnson – 7,471 (46.46 percent); Laura Pastor – 8,611 (53.54 percent).

Council District 8: Kate Gallego – 7,925 (61.12 percent); Warren Stewart – 5,042 (38.88 percent).

The city of Phoenix has completed tabulation and processing of all ballots in our possession. However, Maricopa County is still processing early ballots from the countywide election. If the county finds any additional city ballots during processing, they will forward these ballots to the city and they will be added to the city results. This number will not be significant and the final, unofficial results will be posted on phoenix.gov as soon as the county processing is complete.

The City Council is scheduled to canvass the vote totals during its Formal session at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, after which the results become official. The incumbents and newly elected Council members in Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 will be sworn in during the inauguration ceremony scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014.   back...
