Voting has now concluded (and indeed, did some 4.5 hours ago). A provisional certification will follow shortly in the main elections forum. A full and final certification will posted some time after this.

[Peter]

There were 2 absentee and 9 regular ballots cast.

The vote of Reignman has been discounted as the Department has no record of  him being a registered voter. The vote of Wildcard has been discounted for he remains registered in Rhode Island until 5 August.

There were therefore 9 valid votes

There was one formal candidate and one declared write-in candidate, Jesus and Lewis Trondheim respectively.

The distribution of votes was as follows:

Jesus - 7
Lewis Trondheim - 2

Jesus has a majority and is therefore elected.

This certification is final in all respects unless a court order is issued.
