Here are unofficial results to the September 22, 2009 preliminary elections to choose candidates for mayor of Boston and city councilors.

The South End continued to underperform. Over 23% of registered voters in Boston turned out to vote but only of the South End’s precincts reached a +20% turnout.

Do South Enders care about their city?
