Santa Monica voters re-elected City councilmembers Terry O’Day and Gleam Davis on Tuesday, along with Planning Commissioner Ted Winterer and former councilman Tony Vazquez.

According to results posted on the LA County Registrar’s Office, Winterer led the pack after all 54 voting precincts and absentee ballots were counted. He collected 13,585 votes (15.1 percent).

There were 60,909 registered voters in Santa Monica this election. There were 18,988 absentee ballots counted Tuesday, which represented about a third of all local voters.

Richard Bloom and Bobby Shriver were the other two incumbents who chose not to seek re-election.
