It’s been 40 years since Charleston elected a new a mayor, so it’s fitting an extra two weeks will be needed to find out who the city’s new leader will be.
The Holy City’s historic mayoral election ended in a run-off on Tuesday as no candidate secured the necessary percentage of votes to be elected (50%). The top two vote-getters – John Tecklenburg and Leon Stavrinakis – will square off on Tuesday, November 17th to see who will become Charleston’s next mayor.
According to multiple news outlets, Tecklenburg finished in first with nearly 36% of the vote, while Stavrinakis was ever-so-slightly behind at nearly 35%. Ginny Deerin, who was considered by many to be a front runner, finished in third place with about 17% of the vote
Here’s a look at the final vote totals:
