Indicted Wildwood Mayor Gary DeMarzo has lost re-election.
Unofficial results from Tuesday's election shows DeMarzo came in fourth for one of three seats on the City Commission.
Former Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr., who lost a recall vote in 2009, received the most votes.
DeMarzo has pleaded guilty to official misconduct charges.
Prosecutors have accused DeMarzo and a lawyer of improperly using public funds to pay for DeMarzo's defense in a conflict of interest case.
DeMarzo told The Press of Atlantic City the indictment played little role in the election's outcome.
DeMarzo believes he paid a price for supporting the city's 2011 budget, which includes the layoffs of as many as 42 public employees.
The new government will take office on May 17.
