UPDATE: The municipal election in the Town of NEMI is accepting mail-in and drop-off ballots. Elections results therefore won’t be available until later this week.
After stepping into the role of mayor in 2013 after former mayor Joe Chapman resigned, and running unopposed in 2014, Al MacNevin now has an opponent in two-term ward two councillor Melissa Peters for the top spot.
MacNevin formerly served as the councillor for ward two and deputy mayor before stepping into the big seat. After vacating his council position, council chose Peters to fill his spot.
There are 11 candidates looking to secure eight seats on council with one, incumbent Laurie Cook, acclaimed. There are three representatives to be elected in both Ward 2 and Ward 4.
