As they are released, election results may be viewed on the City's web site, www.YumaAz.gov/election, or on the City's Time Warner Cable channels City 73 and Ciudad 72.

Percentages reflect a percentage of the total number of ballots cast, rather than a percentage of the total number of votes cast, because Yuma City Council seats are considered at-large, and each ballot may contain up to three votes for members of the City Council.

The election results will not be considered official until they have been canvassed by the Yuma City Council, most likely at its regularly scheduled Nov. 18 meeting.
