The results showed that the race for District 1 Commissioner was outside the requirement for a recount, with the top two candidates separated by two votes.

No candidate received more than 50% of the votes, which means the District 1 race will head to the November ballot.

The top two candidates, Austin Arthur and Nicole H. Wilson, will run in a runoff election.
