Elyse Hottel held on to win the third Basalt Town Council seat after final votes were tallied Thursday morning, according to Town Clerk Pam Schilling.
Hottel and Dieter Schindler each received three votes among those that couldn’t be counted on Election Day, April 7, according to the final tally released by Schilling. There were outstanding ballots mailed overseas and votes with signature verification issues that still needed to be counted.
After the final vote, Hottel had 509 votes to Schindler’s 505. That was the only seat that outstanding after Election Day.
Glenn Drummond won a council seat with 583 votes while David Knight earned a seat with 577. Hottel followed at 509.
