City Clerk Melissa Cogdell read and certified the results of Hannibal’s municipal election and a later special-runoff vote during the May 6 city council meeting.
Cogdell said Donald McMaster Bastian won the municipal judge seat with 1,580 votes. For mayor, Cogdell reported Darryl McCoy received 1,121 votes citywide (1,112 in Marion County and 9 in Rawls County), declaring McCoy the winner. Council and ward results were read aloud; the city will hold a special runoff where no candidate received a majority in the Second Ward (the clerk also reported the outcome of a special runoff held April 22 naming April Azataya winner of the Second Ward seat).
On Proposition B, Cogdell summarized the ballot measure language: the amendment changes Chapter 9.13 of the Hannibal City Charter to allow the City of Hannibal to use Missouri or national cooperative bidding procedures for purchasing equipment. She reported Marion County tabulated 1,115 yes votes and 339 no votes; Rawls County reported 11 yes and 4 no, for a citywide total of 1,526 yes and 343 no, declaring Proposition B passed by 1,183 votes in the city totals.

Ending: The clerk’s formal certification places the results on the public record; the council later administered oaths and proceeded with seating and other agenda business.
