Unofficial election results are in from Yavapai County and Coconino County. Below are the results from local and contested races.
Sedona Mayor
Running uncontested, Mayor Sandy Moriarty won reelection with 951 votes in Yavapai County, 95.10 percent, and 443 votes, 95.47 percent in Coconino County.
Sedona City Council, 4-year
For the three four-year seats, results are:
Joe Vernier, 405, 28.85 percent, Coconino
1,255 total
John Martinez, incumbent, 323, 23.01 percent, Coconino
1,127 total
Jessica Williamson, incumbent, 301, 21.99 percent, Coconino
1,035 total
John Currivan, 361, 25.71 percent, Coconino
1,133 total
There were 53 write-ins.
Note that these results do not reflect processing of all ballots. “No determination of election will be made until all ballots are processed and we receive the unofficial final results from Coconino and Yavapai counties,” Sedona City Clerk Susan Irvine said.
The margin, aka “magic number” threshold at this point is 758.333, rounded up to 759. As all four candidates reached this threshold, total number of votes determine the winners, thus, Joe Vernier, John Currivan and incumbent Vice Mayor John Martinez have been unofficially elected. Incumbent Jessica Williamson was not elected.
Sedona City Council, 2-year
For the one two-year seats, results are:
Tom Lamkin, incumbent, 286, 53.06 percent, Coconino
892 total
Gerhard Mayer, 251, 46.57 percent, Coconino
795 total
Incumbent Tom Lamkin defeated Gerhard Mayer and will not face a runoff.
