Guido Maniscalco won the City Council District 2 runoff against Robin Lockett. Maniscalco earned 61.95% of the vote, while Lockett took 38.05% of the vote.

According to the Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections Office, the unofficial election results will be certified on April 27. If the first unofficial results show that a candidate for any office was defeated by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast for such office, a machine recount is triggered (FS 102.141). If the results of the machine recount are within one-fourth of one percent or less, a manual recount will then be conducted.
