A judicial recount has confirmed that Antigonish County District One incumbent Mary MacLellan has been re-elected.
A recount was ordered following a very close vote at the October 19th municipal election. On election night, MacLellan garnered 301 votes, while challenger Jennifer MacEachern had 296.
Friday’s Provincial Court recount confirmed the same result; with MacLellan winning by five votes over MacEachern. Two ballots were rejected.
With the recount completed, Antigonish County Councillors will be sworn in at a meeting on Tuesday.
