WORCESTER – Unofficial results from the Worcester Municipal Elections show 17,304 Worcester voters cast ballots in the City, a 16.54% turnout. That is down slightly in both total voters (17,567) and percentage turnout (17.28%) from 2019.
Mayor Joe Petty was reelected with 60% of the vote and while voters selected a new Councilor-at-Large, Thu Nguyen, who finished in fourth place among at-large candidates.
Matt Wally, who chose to run for an at-large seat rather than for reelection in District 5, finished in seventh place, 621 votes behind the sixth and final Councilor-at-Large seat.
District 5 voters elected Etel Haxhiaj to represent their district. Haxhiaj earned 54% of voters in the district, almost exactly the percentage she earned in the preliminary election (54.7%), though she earned over 1,300 more votes on Tuesday.
In District 1, Sean Rose turned a 157 vote deficit in the preliminary election (45.3%) to reelection by a margin of 407 votes (53.2%) on Tuesday.
