(KLZA)--An automatic recount of votes has been triggered in the Village of Salem Board race in Richardson County.

Four candidates sought election to the three open positions on the Board. Following the canvassing of votes Wednesday, Mary Jane Wessel had 49 votes, Lindie Catlin had 43 votes, Richard Rowland received 23 votes and Warren Voegele received 22 votes.

The recount will occur on Monday, November 8.

Write-in candidates receiving votes have been identified in two Village Board races. In the Shubert Village Board race Don Goff received 25 write-in votes. Elected to the Board will be Tomas Borrego with 68 votes, Will Surman with 55 votes and Donna Lockard with 54.

In the Stella Village Board race write-in candidate Paulina Gossman received 45 votes and will be elected to the Board. The other candidates elected are Jim Donahue and Heath Stanley with 71 votes each.

In order to be elected as a write-in candidate, you must file a notarized affidavit of intent with the receipt for any filing fee with the election officer.

In addition, a notarized affidavit shall be entitled to all write-in votes for the candidate even if only the last name of the candidate has been written if such last name is reasonably close to the proper spelling.

No other races in Richardson County were affected by the Wednesday canvassing of votes.
