It was about as close as close can be in Wednesday’s voting for Reeve of the Rural Municipality of Wawken No. 93.

In the end, former reeve Calvin Lincoln was declared elected with a slim two-vote margin over incumbent Jack Berglund. Lincoln received 128 votes, to 126 for Berglund.

Lincoln had resigned as reeve in May of this year, citing personal reasons. When nominations to replace him were held in June, Berglund left his Division 6 seat on council to stand for reeve, and was acclaimed to fill out the term.

Regulations allow two weeks for request of a recount. Voter turnout is estimated to have been 43.8%.
