Final vote counting in Basalt<\/p>\n

The final tally in the Basalt Town Council election will be undertaken Thursday<\/a> to determine the winner of a council seat.<\/p>\n

There were 56 outstanding ballots that were either mailed overseas and hadn\u2019t been returned by the April 7 election or were local ballots cast with questions regarding the signatures, according to Town Clerk Pam Schilling. Wednesday was the last day for the remaining 36 overseas ballots to be returned. In addition, the town tried to resolve the issues with the 20 ballots with questions regarding the signatures.<\/p>\n

Schilling said election judges will count the final ballots this morning and results will be released.<\/p>\n
