It wasn’t exactly a nail-biter, but after weeks of counting, the results of Long Beach’s November election were officially certified Monday night.
The presumed winners in local City Council and school board races had been known for some time now. The results that came in on election night and in the days that followed showed early on who would be elected.
Nevertheless, here’s the official results of the Nov. 3 election as certified by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder after election workers finished counting all ballots:

- District 2: Cindy Allen will replace Councilwoman Jeannine Pearce. She collected 11,448 votes or 53.6% of ballots cast.
- District 6: Suely Saro unseated Councilman Dee Andrews after collecting 7,799 ballots or 59.8% of the vote.
- District 8: Incumbent Al Austin won re-election by receiving 56.8% of votes or 10,839 ballots.
