Rancho Cucamonga will have a new mayor next month, but nearly two weeks after Election Day, voters still do not know for certain who it will be.

Lynne Kennedy remains in front in the five-way mayor's race, but her lead over Oliver King has narrowed since election night.

On election night, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters' final unofficial report showed Kennedy with 12,751 votes, or about 38 percent.

King had 11,308 votes, or about 34 percent, a gap of roughly four percentage points.

The latest Decision Desk HQ tally, updated as counting continues, puts Kennedy's lead at about 2.4 points.

Decision Desk HQ still lists the race as live, with mail and provisional ballots being processed.

Kennedy appeared on the ballot as Mayor Pro Tem, according to the city's election page.

Jaskirat Sondh, Marjorie Hamada and Michael Perez trailed with about 10 percent or less each on election night.

District 2 shifts toward Shaw

The District 2 council race has moved in the opposite direction.

On election night, Dejonae Shaw led Councilmember Kristine Scott by just 23 votes, 2,211 to 2,188.

Shaw's edge has since grown to about six percentage points in the latest Decision Desk HQ count.

David VanGorden and Connie Velazquez rounded out that field.

In District 3, Stacy Henry was the only candidate on the ballot.

The road to certification

The city has laid out the timeline for making the results official.

The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters must certify results by December 3.

The City Council is scheduled to adopt the certified results at its December 16 meeting.

A special council meeting on December 17 is set for the installation of the newly elected officers.

Council meeting moved up a day

In the meantime, residents planning to attend City Hall should note a schedule change.

The City Council meeting originally set for Wednesday, November 18, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, November 17, at 6 p.m.

The agenda is posted on the city's online meeting portal.
