An unprecedented number of mail-in ballots, effects of Hurricane Sandy and other factors will delay official results of the Nov. 6 general election until Nov. 26.
Charter Study Commission candidate Mary Burgwinkle gave the City Council the new date Monday in explaining why the commission's mandated organization within 15 days will be delayed. The Nov. 6 ballot contained both the question on whether voters wanted a charter study and also listed seven candidates, from which five winners would take seats on the commission. Results on both the question and the commissioners are pending the official tally.
Other local contests awaiting official results are for Third Ward and Citywide at-large City Council seats and three three-year and one one-year school board seats.
The results must be certified by Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi.
