Nowata County asks for funding for run off election.

 

 At yesterday’s commission meeting, election board member Dave Neely gave his official update that last week’s election was certified by the state on Friday. Last week’s election for the District 2 Commission seat resulted in no candidate receiving more than 50% of the total vote, triggering a run off election to determine the winner.

 

District 2 Incumbent Timmie Benson and challenger Brandon Wesson now go to face wach other head-to-head. Neely says the county may need some help to pay for the election.

 

The run-off election date is set for August 27th.
