Helena Happenings on Wednesday

Helena Happenings: 
6:45pm to 8:15pm Meltdown: Back to School event for Middle and High School students at the Church at Cahaba Bend

Canvass Results
The Helena City Council canvassed the Election results on Tuesday at noon. There are 3 ballots that are provisional but since no one won by 3 votes, then they wont really change the outcome. They read out the totals and this is what I wrote down. I pretty sure it is correct but if you need an accurate count then you can get that from City Hall.  The votes were from three sources, the two ballot boxes at the election site and the absentee ballots that were filed.

 Mayor Box 1 Box 2 Absentee  Total Percentage
Eddins 461 210 3 674 21.7%
Hall 748 436 12 1196 38.6%
Penhale 791 407 20 1218 39.3%
