The counting by the Pima County Election Commission continues. There are provisional ballots that the county will tally tomorrow. The county will release the final tally on Wednesday.
The threshold needed to win
As explained on LOVE previously, in order to win in the primary, a candidate needs 50% plus 1 vote. The formula for determining that threshold is to take the total number of ballots cast divided by the number of open seats divided by 2.
With the ballots currently counted, the formula looks like this:
41,440 ballots cast divided by 3 open seats, then divided by 2 = 6907 plus 1 = 6908 votes needed to win in the primary.
Based on this count, the three council members would be Steve Solomon, Mo Greene and Tim Bohen.
Proposition 480
This is the proposition to increase town expenditure spending limits. Results reveal 63% approval (9,082 votes) and 37% voting no (5,249 votes).
