Akron Councilwoman Renee Greene retained her seat by three votes, rather than losing it by four, according to the official vote count today by the Summit County Board of Elections.
Councilman Terry Albanese retained his victory over challenger Wayne Kartler, according to the results.
Greene's victory will trigger an automatic recount by the board on Oct. 2. There will not be a recount in the Albanese race.
Greene, who represents Ward 4, won by 756 votes to challenger De Andre Forney's 753. Albanese, who is from Ward 6, claimed 1,102 votes, compared to Kartler's 1,079.
The elections board today counted absentee and provisional ballots that the board had on hand. This did not include 200 absentee votes that are the subject of a lawsuit filed by the city of Akron.
In that case, Judge Thomas Teodosio ruled this afternoon that the city lacked standing to bring the suit.
Akron Law Director Max Rothal is looking over Teodosio's ruling and will decide whether the city will appeal.
The elections board will certify the results of the Sept. 11 primary Tuesday morning, barring a court order forbidding them from doing so, said Marijean Donofrio, the board's deputy director.
