Wrangell Cooperative Association held its annual election for the Tribal Council on February 22.
Open to members, a total of 68 ballots were counted, including four absentee and eight question ballots. Turnout was down by about a dozen members from the previous year, possibly due to the election being rescheduled from the previous week.
Every year, half of the eight-member council is up for re-election, with members serving two-year seats. The results shown here are preliminary, to be validated at Tuesday evening’s Tribal Council meeting. Officerships then would be decided for the year’s president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.
