Malvern Election Results: New Mayor for Malvern

Before we get into this, it is worth pointing out that the following numbers are unofficial and preliminary, and that election officials will approve them after review in the coming days.

That said, here’s what happened on Tuesday.

The county’s numbers have Democratic candidate for Mayor, Dave Burton, beating incumbent Gerard McGlone (R). Burton received 65 percent of the vote, 509 votes in all, nearly doubling the 266 votes received in favor of McGlone.

The three open seats on the Malvern Borough Council, however, are a little less cut-and-dry.

The three republican candidates, William Macaleer, Robert Coughlin and Zeyn Uzman all received about 210 votes, or 11 roughly 11 percent of the vote. The remaining 68 percent of the vote went to write-in candidates, 1,351 votes in all. This is no doubt due to the write-in campaigning done by candidates Todd Lexer, David Barmwell and Matt Radano, but since the county does not delve into which candidates were listed on the write-in votes (or, at least, hasn’t done so as of 3 a.m. Wednesday), we cannot report a winner for the borough council seat.

Rest assured we will update this story in the coming days. In the meantime, check out the unofficial numbers below.
