Unlike most municipal elections, Salt Lake City elections follow a ranked choice voting system. At the polls, voters ranked their candidates in order of preference. If a candidate is selected as the first-choice candidate by more than 50% of voters, they win. But if not, the ranked choice process kicks in.
The following results are unofficial and based on reporting from state election officials.
In a close race, Victoria Petro is leading Stephen Otterstrom for the District 1 seat on the Salt Lake City Council. With 92% of precincts reporting, Petro leads by just four points.
Petro is the incumbent and has served on the council since 2021.
In another ranked choice contest, Chris Wharton, the incumbent, holds a commanding 22-point lead over Blake McClary in the election’s third round. Liddy Huntsman-Hernandez trails Wharton by 28 points.
David Berg and Jake Seastrand were eliminated during earlier rounds.
Erika Carlsen has won the Salt Lake City Council District 5 seat, defeating Amy Hawkins and Vance Hansen.
With no incumbent in the race, Carlsen won by almost 1,500 votes.
Sarah Young ran unopposed.
All results are unofficial as of Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025.
