Elections were held across the State and in the Land of ROCORI on November 6th. This story features an exclusive interview with Election Judge, Kris Dockendorf.   Kris describes some of the questions that concerned citizens have been asking in regard to this election. One major issue revolves around the number of write-in candidates expected with only one candidate officially on the ballot for a total of 3 positions.  DigElog ROCORI would like to thank all of those citizens that went out and got involved with the voting process.

There was a total of 3872 voters who made it to the polls yesterday to cast their ballot in regard to the ROCORI Referendum and to elect 3 positions on the ROCORI School Board.   The referendum passed with 61% of the vote in favor of the new levy.  The School Board election choosing three- 3 year seats were won by incumbent Jim Hemmesch, receiving the greatest number of votes at 2710, followed by write-in candidates Tim Lieser (1533) and Lisa Demuth (1091).
