Voters on election day today favored Steven Eisenbeisz for mayor, and approved the two propositions on the ballot.
With up to 860 absentee ballots to be counted, Chris Ystad and Thor Christianson led the field in the race for two open Assembly seats, followed by Richard Wein.
Three School Board candidates ran unopposed for three seats.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. and ballots were counted at Harrigan Centennial Hall by 9:45 p.m.
In the race for mayor, Eisenbeisz received 798 votes, Valorie Nelson 478 and Kevin Mosher 263.
