City Clerk Eleanor Manzano announced at this week’s Redondo Beach City Council meeting that results from the Mar. 2 municipal election will be tabulated on Friday.
Manzano said her team of 10 people has been working “non-stop” since the election to verify signatures on ballots postmarked by election day.
“We were inundated,” she said of this election, which was conducted entirely by mail because of restrictions designed to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. “Normally we have a lot more ballots by the time the election comes around.”
Just over 5,100 ballots were received before election day. A count of those showed incumbents leading the races for mayor and city attorney, as well as for council members in Districts 1, 2, and 4.
