The ballots have been cast and the results are in.
Mountain View School Division has 4 new trustees on its board.
It was a very decisive vote as well, with some winners receiving over 200 votes over their fellow candidates.
Jerri Thompson was elected in Ward 4, the city of Dauphin with a whopping 307 of the 489 votes cast in the ward.
She expressed some clear goals going into her new position.
"Transparency... I want the public to know that the school board is working for education's best interest in the area."
Ward 2 also saw a landslide victory, as Scott Lynxleg took 255 of 395 total votes in his ward.
Roblin's race was a bit more tempered, as there were 2 candidates elected, Floyd Martens with 203 and Conrad Nabess with 130, both out of a total of 420 votes.
Returning Officer Kirk Dawson was quite pleased with the end of the night, as he says this whole election was a great representation of the democratic process.
Of course, he did not want to overlook the critical people who made this happen, the workers.
"I want to put a special shout-out to the workers. it takes a lot of time and effort and we've really got some great people that step up. we should be really proud of these people."
Thank you to the many people who make this process possible, and welcome to 4 new members of the MVSD board of trustees!
