Looking just at the first round of voting assuming 1 vote per person equals the most accurate count of total votes:
District 1 - 23,189 votes across 16 candidates + write ins.
District 2 - 41,908 - 22 candidates + write ins
District 3 - 46,039 - 30 candidates + write ins
District 4 - 45,044 - 30 candidates + write ins
Total votes, all candidates, 156,180
So that’s 46.33% of the votes of the 2020 election.

Any case, it’s doable.
Personally, I’m most interested in getting District 1 turnout to increase.
The difference is, prior to this election, city council seats were chosen in city wide elections.

So, in 2020, one council seat was up for election:

Mingus Mapps - 187,386 - 55.59%
Chloe Eudaly - 146,399 - 43.43%
Write-In - 3,376 - 0.97%
Total Votes Cast - 337,061 - 100.00%
So across the entire city, 337,061 votes cast.
In 2024, if you total up all the votes for all the candidates in Districts 1-4…
