The official election results and Calgarians now know who the city’s new mayor, council and members of the local school boards will be.

By law, the City of Calgary was required to submit the official numbers to the provincial government by noon on Oct. 24.

The city says 349,815 people or 39.04 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in this year’s municipal election.

The results confirm that Jeromy Farkas will be Calgary’s new mayor after receiving 91,071 votes.

That’s 581 votes more than runner up Sonya Sharp.

However, those results are still subject to a recount which will be overseen by the government of Alberta and must be completed by 12 p.m. on Oct. 29.

The new members of city council, according to the official results, will be:

Ward 1 – Kim Tyers

Ward 2 – Jennifer Wyn
