The name of Peru’s new Town Councilperson will not be known until at least November 18th. That’s the date when non-military and military absentee ballots will be counted. As of November 8th the Clinton County Board of Elections had received 82 ballots from registered Town of Peru voters.
Both absentee and military ballots must have been postmarked no later than November 4th. Military absentee ballots must be received 13 days following Election Day and non-military votes within 7 days. On Election Day, November 5th, only twelve votes separated Donald McBrayer who garnered 729 votes and Lana Knight who received 717 votes. Jim Douglass garnered 987 votes. Two Town Council seats were up for election.
