A voter in Alton Precinct 24 bends over Tuesday morning to read the voting instructions before filling out his ballot in the Messiah Lutheran Church, 920 Milton Road. Three Alton precincts vote in the church. Alton joined several other local municipalities who had mayoral races on the ballot Tuesday.
EDWARDSVILLE Light turnout was reported for Tuesday’s consolidated elections.
Election officials this week, including Madison County Clerk Debra Ming-Mendoza, projected the low number of voters usually seen in an off-year election.
Several municipal, school board and special district elections were on the ballot, including leadership races for Alton, Godfrey and Wood River as well as Lewis and Clark Community College Board of Trustees seats.
Plank
Jeremy Plank and Scott Tweedy have been elected to the Wood River City Council, according to unofficial results of Tuesday s municpal elections.
But several hours after polls had closed and vote totals for Wood River s 13 precincts were posted online, the numbers did not comport with what Plank s campaign team had from its review of precint tallies.
His campaign had gathered precinct printouts, which do not include early voting numbers tabulated at the county, and though his team was missing one precinct s tally, the numbers for 12 precincts (504) exceeded what was posted for public viewing with all 13 precincts reporting (496) - which would have included early votes.
