Final Election Results Certified In Hoboken: See Vote Tally

(Looking for Dec. 2 runoff results? Look here!)

HOBOKEN, NJ — On Election Day, it was clear that Councilwoman Emily Jabbour would face Councilman Michael Russo in a runoff election for Hoboken mayor Dec. 2. Still, not all the votes had been counted, as some paper ballots could be mailed until 8 p.m.

This past Wednesday, the Hudson County Board of Elections certified the final numbers in the race.

A total of six candidates tussled in the race, including four incumbent City Council members.

The elections are non-partisan.

In order to win outright and avoid a runoff, a candidate would have had to receive more than 50 percent of the votes.
