Voting Details

2023 Election Day Success!

Tuesday, November 7th

Thank you to our supporters, voters, and the election judges!

 

We won the majority (over 50%) of first-choice votes in the Ranked Voting system. That means we won outright and will not be going through another day of "tabulation."


See more info about Ranked Choice voting here.  Information about tabulation can be found in the submenu item, "When will I know the election results?"
