A runoff election will be needed to determine Trenton’s next mayor. None of the six candidates secured at least 50 percent of the vote. The top two vote-getters Eric Jackson and Paul Perez will face-off in a June 10 contest. The winner will succeed Tony Mack, who was convicted on corruption charges in February.

The city’s acting mayor, George Muschal, did not run in this election. Muschal took over in February after Mayor Mack was removed from office. Mack is scheduled to be sentenced today.
