The Prince George’s County Board of Elections announced preliminary vote counts for College Park’s municipal election Sunday.
The numbers were based only on ballots cast in-person at the city’s community center on Sunday. The board has yet to factor in ballots the city mailed out to residents — city clerk Janeen Miller said there were 1,083 — and provisional votes.
Incumbent Mayor Patrick Wojahn is running for his fourth term. Out of 685 votes cast in person on Sunday, Wojahn received 575 votes. He has secured another term.
In District 1, where a total of 254 voters cast ballots in person Sunday, incumbent council member Fazlul Kabir received 242 votes, and incumbent council member Kate Kennedy received 155 votes. District 1 is uncontested.
