The totals included 437 ballots from early in-person voting and 38 mail ballots. Election-Day balloting logged 677 votes. With 16,895 voters registered, the total count of 1,152 makes the turnout 6.82% in combined early voting and Election Day balloting.

Chacon received 3,312 votes, or 41.00% of the Nov. 5 total, while Escobar won 2,185 votes, or 27.05%.
A runoff was required because no candidate in the field of five received more than 50%.
