New outcome in Guelph Municipal Election recount: Ward 1 tie broken by City Clerk

At the conclusion of today’s 2006 Municipal Election recount for Councillors in Wards 1 and 6, the following results were announced:

Councillor Ward 1

BELL - 3212 (32.3%)

BAILY - 1717 (17.3%)

FARRELLY - 1717 (17.3%)

(ward 6 results snipped)

The Ward 1 tie between Laura Baily and Kathleen Farrelly was broken under the Municipal Elections Act with the City Clerk drawing Baily’s name randomly by lot.

Following direction from Guelph City Council, the election recounts were conducted for the Office of Councillor in the two wards. Ballots were recounted in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act in the same manner as on election day using the same vote tabulators. [machines]

two elected from each ward. sucks to lose that way, eh? and the city is so far unwilling to have a hand recount. wow.
