The efforts of Eric Pierce and the folks at AltadenaElection.org paid off with a voter turnout of 543 citizens. The largest turnout was in Census Tract 4603.01, where three candidates were in the race, and the smallest was the uncontested Census Tract 4613.
Ballots were counted at the Altadena Community Center by teams of volunteers who double-checked and in some cases, triple-checked results, and reported at 5 p.m.
Here are the tract-by-tract results; winners are in boldface.
