Election Results
9 September 2019: At this evening’s election for two vacancies on the KCSA Board of Directors, the winning candidates were Andrew Lloyd-Williams and Ron Lynde. Congratulations to the winners!
A total of 2,735 votes were cast by the 2,349 eligible Class ‘A’ voters and 1,806 eligible Class ‘B’ voters, each having up to two votes — one for each vacancy on the Board. So, with 4,155 voters each having 2 votes, a maximum of 8,310 votes could have been cast — meaning that the turnout for this election was 32.9%: (It should be noted that the number of eligible voters represents a 1% drop in Class ‘A’ voters, and a 16% drop in class ‘B’ voters from 2018)
