WITH half of the votes now counted in the election for eight councillors, three councilors remain at risk of losing their seats on the Derwent Valley Council.
New figures released by the Tasmanian Electoral Commission a short time ago see incumbent councillor Anne Salt replacing challenger Matt Hill in the "possible election result", subject to the rest of the votes being counted. The top five places remain unchanged from yesterday's prediction, but Luke Browning's position has improved from eighth place to sixth, at the expense of Rachel Power who drops to seventh place.
With 50% of the councillor vote now counted, the provisional outcome predicts that the new eight-member council could be (in order of election):
- Paul Belcher
- Ben Shaw
- Julie Triffett
- Martyn Evans
- Jessica Cosgrove
- Luke Browning
- Rachel Power
- Anne Salt
This is based on a computer prediction and the result may change once the remaining ballots are counted. On the numbers, councillors Frank Pearce, Barry Lathey and James Graham would lose their seats, and Matt Hill hangs in the balance.
