City of Yuma Primary Election results, July 21

The City of Yuma held its Primary Election Tuesday, July 21, where voters had the opportunity to elect or nominate candidates for Mayor, three seats on the City Council, and a Presiding Municipal Judge.

Following are results as of 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, July 21. The current count reflects 6,694 ballots cast, including:

• Early ballots that have been processed and counted.

Pursuant to the Yuma City Charter, election percentages are based on the total number of ballots cast, rather than a percentage of the total number of votes received. Therefore, percentages listed could vary between the City's listed results and Yuma County's. The difference is because Yuma City Council seats are considered at-large, and each ballot may contain up to three votes for members of the City Council.

Under Article IV, Section 5 of the Yuma City Charter, any candidate receiving votes constituting a majority of all ballots cast in the primary is elected to office.

If not filled by a majority of ballots cast at the primary election, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes for City Council will move to the General Election November 3 at a rate of two candidates per seat.

Votes will become final and official once canvassed by the Yuma City Council.
