In-person voting closed in Petersburg’s municipal election at 8pm on Oct. 4. 801 people voted in-person. An additional 409 ballots have not been counted.
Here are the preliminary results based on about two-thirds of the total vote. These results are not necessarily predictive of final results. The borough will hand-count all ballots starting Wednesday, October 5 at 10 a.m. They expect results to be released by the end of the business day. KFSK will announce those results on air and on our website when we get them.
The ballots still to be counted are early and absentee. Twenty of those are still in the mail. In order to be counted, they must be postmarked by yesterday (Oct. 4) and must arrive by Friday at 9 a.m. That is when the borough assembly is meeting to certify the results.
