BOSTON — Bostonians ventured out in a downpour Tuesday to decide who will represent them on City Council. While most of the district races were not highly contested, the councilor-at-large race was anyone’s game, with the difference between a winner and a loser coming down to ten votes in one case.

St. Guillen, one of eight candidates for Boston City Council At-Large, called for a recount in a statement on Tuesday night as results showed only a 10 vote difference between her and fellow candidate Julia Mejia for the fourth At-Large seat.
“We are so proud of the campaign we ran, and in order to fight for a better Boston for all, every vote needs to be counted, and we are requesting a recount,” said St. Guillen in the statement. “This campaign engaged thousands of voters across this city to ultimately be separated by just 10 voters. Every voter who came out and cast a ballot – whether it be absentee, in the voting booth, or provisionally – deserves a full and complete count to determine who is our next City Councilor at large.”
