Aldermen at-large received the following number of votes out of 23 total ballots cast: Mark Farran received 20 votes; Diana Mayfield received 18 votes; and Ned Steiner received 20 votes. On Tuesday night, The Maries County Advocate reported information from County Clerk, which is not yet certified, that each Aldermen at-large candidate received 18 votes a piece. Official numbers were received later.
