Retired Teacher Wins Seat On Quispamsis Council

Election fever, so to speak, isn't over for some people in the province.
13 municipalities in the province held municipal bye-elections to fill the void around council chambers. Voter turnout was under 25 per cent.

In Quispamsis, Libby O'Hara received 949 votes to become the newest member of Town Council, defeating her closest opponent by almost 500 votes. The voter turnout in the town was low at just over 19 per cent.

Other results include Natalie Harris winning a seat on Blacks Harbour Council by acclamation and Roger Doiron is the new mayor of Richibucto by acclamation.

In Norton, Juliana Catherine Booth was elected to Council with 135 votes.
