Breaking News: Youth Mock Election
Owl and Hawk in TX Bird Runoff
The results of the LWV Comal Area Mock Election results are in! The Hawk and the Owl will be in a runoff for Top Texas Bird.
LWV Mock Election Administrator Jerrie Champlin confirmed the results: "The final mock election totals are in and there's a fall runoff needed."
Champlin said that 207 votes were cast:
- 86 for the Owl- 41.5%
- 67 for the Hawk-32.4%,
- 52 for the Roadrunner - 25.1%, and
- 2 write-ins for Eagle - 1%.
The runoff is needed because no candidate received over 50% of the vote. Youth from across Comal and Guadalupe Counties voted in the election at multiple polling locations.
The top two vote getters, the Hawk and the Owl, are reminding their supporters to vote in the runoff election taking place in September and October at Area events. The losing Roadrunner said that she was weighing her options. She may seek a recount or spend the fall rooting for UTSA football.
Thanks to all of our voters, including our library voters and most recent voters at the Juneteenth Celebration at Westside Community Center (see photo). If your school, group, or event is interested in hosting a polling location, please contact president@lwvcomal.org. |
