I did the election via a draft pick lottery, that way, I could ensure that the result wasn't completely insane but that minor party candidates had a theoretical chance at advancing to a runoff.
Parties in order of polling rank:
Contemporary
Progress
Citizens
Civic
Compromise
Rural
Nature
After the primary election, the top two vote getters were:
Aurinda Sinclair & Cory Bates.
Keven Turcotte came in 3rd, Sophia Flynn 4th, Harvey Franco 5th, Georgine Gibson 6th and Wendy Sargent 7th.
The runoff is interesting because you have two different visions for the future of the city over the next term. In either case, you get a status quo type of moving forward, except I think ACL might be more aggressive about a lot of things that Contemporary would probably be less interested in (like increasing police spending) and the city itself would probably stay relatively staid. Entertainment options probably won't expand much.
Anyway, the general election happens and with Contemporary polling with a 6 point lead heading into election Sunday.
In the end, Contemporary wins the election 52-33 (with 15% of the vote abstentions.) Aurinda Sinclair becomes the city's first female mayor.
