Election Results In
OUTCOME UNOFFICIAL UNTIL APRIL 9
A number of local municipal races came to their climactic conclusion on Tuesday with the publication of General Election results.
Andy McClain and Josh Banta were elected to the McDonald County School Board. Meghan Sexson was elected as Goodman’s Tax Collector and Paula Brodie as the South Ward Alderman. Jeremiah Brewer was elected as Anderson’s East Ward Alderman and Don Hines as the West Ward Alderman.
Noel and Jane received voter support to forgo annual elections if the number of candidates who have filed is equal to the number of positions to be filled by election, while Lanagan and Ginger Blue were denied the option.
Of the 12,893 registered voters in McDonald County, 937 (7.27%) showed up at their polling location to cast their votes in the 2021 General Election on Tuesday. This number reflects a 7.64% decrease in voter participation from the 2020 General Election as well as 605 fewer registered voters.
These results are unofficial until official certification on Friday, April 9. If any changes in election results occur, they will be published in an upcoming issue.
