Coronado mayoral election results

CORONADO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Richard Bailey has reached the end of his second and final term as mayor of Coronado and three candidates are vying to replace him.

Voters had their pick between three candidates this November, all of whom are currently sitting on the Coronado City Council — Michael Donovan, John Duncan and Casey Tanaka.

The mayor of Coronado serves a four-year term and is responsible for making decisions on various issues affecting the city. The mayor also serves as the official head of the city for all ceremonial purposes, and makes appointments to boards, commissions and committees.

Voters had until 8 p.m. on Election Night to vote to determine who will be the next mayor of Coronado.

Unofficial results released just after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday shows Duncan initially taking the lead with 46% of the vote, followed by Casey Tanaka with 40% of the vote, and Donovan with 12%.

With the polls closed, the Registrar of Voters will release results in batches until a winner is called. Election officials say the results released immediately after the polls closed largely account for ballots cast prior to Monday, Nov. 4 through early voting opportunities.
