Scottsdale voters went to the polls – and their mailboxes – this election season to elect a mayor and two Scottsdale City Council members in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Scottsdale voters also decided the fate of Propositions 490 and 491 in the Nov. 5 general election.

Given the expected voter turnout of 2.1 million, about 700,000 ballots are expected to remain to be counted in the coming days, Maricopa County election officials say.

The mayoral race included incumbent Mayor David Ortega and challenger Lisa Borowsky, a local attorney and former elected community leader.

Unofficial reports released at the Maricopa County Recorder's Office at 8 p.m. show that as of 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5, Ms. Borowsky cast 43,045 or 52.5% and Mr. Ortega cast 38,943 or 47.5% of 93,873 ballots cast received.

There were only two open seats in the City Council race, as newcomer Jan Dubauskas won one seat outright in the primary election earlier this summer.

Unofficial reports released at the Maricopa County Recorder's Office at 8 p.m. show Maryann McAllen with 36,897 votes and Adam Kwasman with 34,787 votes as the frontrunners in the razor-thin race, while incumbent Tammy Caputi received 33,428 votes.

The unofficial results show Prop 490 passed with 53,471 or 60.81% of the 93,873 ballots cast.

The unofficial results show Prop 491 passed with 59,231 or 68.11% of the 93,873 ballots cast.
