M.L. residents elect next city council
While voter turnout numbers remained low, residents of Meadow Lake cast ballots last night and elected the next council to lead.
Every incumbent was re-elected with Kim Chiverton getting the majority of votes with 486. In order of most votes, Merlin Seymour received 462, Conrad Read received 438, Tom Harrison got 401, Curtis Paylor 398, and Glen Winkler received 390.
With 307 votes, Richard Levesque is the lone candidate not elected.
As the city doesn’t keep a voter registration list, the number of voters were estimated based on the 2011 census results. In 2011, Meadow Lake had roughly 3,800 people living in the city 14 years of age or older. Taking in time and people moving, the number of residents in Meadow Lake 18 or older is roughly 3,000.
