Alison Jarman has been re-elected Mayor of Devonport with almost 65 per cent of first preferences, Pulse Tasmania reported.
She beat former mayor Steve Martin, who received 35 per cent. It was a rematch of 2022, when Ms Jarman won with about 41 per cent of the vote in a three-way race.
Elsewhere in the region, deputy mayor Stephanie Cameron was elected Mayor of Meander Valley with 64 per cent of the vote, and Kate Haberle was re-elected unopposed as Mayor of Kentish. On the Central Coast, Cheryl Fuller was re-elected mayor with 67 per cent of the vote, ahead of Glynn Williams.
Voting was compulsory and closed at 2pm on Tuesday. This is the first election under state reforms that cut 50 councillor positions. The five largest urban councils now have nine councillors each, and all other councils have seven.
Counting of councillor votes was continuing.
Correction, 3 November 2026: An earlier version of this story said Kate Haberle was elected unopposed as Mayor of Kentish; she was re-elected unopposed. Background on the election process and the Electoral Commission’s timetable that did not come from our source has been removed.
