Douglass Elected; Second Town Council Seat Depends on Absentee Ballots

James Douglass easily won reelection to the Peru Town Council with 987 votes, however, the race for the second open seat is too close to call. With absentee votes still to be counted, Donald McBrayer tallied 729 votes, twelve votes more than Lana Knight who garnered 717 votes.

The Peru Gazette will update with the other totals shortly.
