Reston Association has elected two new members and re-elected one to their Board of Directors.
The board’s two open at-large seats went to Sarah Selvaraj-D’Souza, who won a second three-year term with 4,275 votes, and Timothy J. Dowling, who was elected for his first three-year term with 3,987 votes.
They both bested John Farrell by a relatively slim margin. The former RA Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee member received 3,719 votes, while 26-year-old software engineer Vincent Dory received 1,221 votes. There were 647 votes to abstain.
Voters could vote for one or two candidates on their ballots.
In the South Lakes District, Jennifer Jushchuk ran unopposed, though about 12% of the votes cast were abstentions.
