At its meeting yesterday, the Lowell Election Commission certified the results of the 2013 city election. The official results will have changed slightly due to the inclusion of 19 provisional ballots that were counted after researching their viability. Listed below are the candidates in order of finish. The first number following the candidate name is the official vote total for that candidate; the second number is the unofficial total that had been previously reported. The only change to the order of finish occurred on the school committee where Dave Conway overtook Steve Gendron for second place by a one vote margin.
