Adena Ishii maintains a lead with 51.1% of votes against Sophie Hahn's 48.9%, marking a significant step towards becoming Berkeley's mayor.
Ishii, an education consultant and former president of the League of Women Voters, started her political campaign without previous experience, showcasing a shift in local political dynamics.
The final voter count remains uncertain, with Alameda County indicating that about 18,000 ballots still need processing, leaving room for potential changes in outcomes.
With a difference of 1,039 votes after accounting for second-choice preferences, Ishii's campaign reflects a strong grassroots support base amidst an evolving election landscape.
