First Choice Counting by Returning Officers Dictates City Vote
The article explains that returning officers will tally first choices for each candidate within sub divisions to derive the city's total votes and the electors voting for each candidate. Candidates lacking a strong first choice plurality may still win after second and third choices are allocated, with official results delayed until those tallies are processed. A large staff of experts will handle compilation once ballots are opened, possibly into the next day.
