The number of votes and percentages for the Mayoral seat were:
Chris Hart 1072 - 96.23%
Write-in 42 - 3.77%

Council Member Roberts referred to the Paper At Polls reporting and inquired how that is different than the electronic voting.  Melanie Abplanalp clarified that would be when individuals request a paper ballot on the day of election or need to vote curb-side.  The Council referred to the write-ins and inquired why the names of the individuals who were written in are not identified.  Melanie Abplanalp clarified there is a requirement for write-in candidates to be registered.  The write-in candidates were not registered and therefore did not qualify.
