Incumbent Daleville Mayor Jayme Stayton and Level Plains Councilman Ronnie Thompson have been elected mayor of Daleville and Level Plains, respectively.
Stayton garnered 614 votes over challenger Charles Wigglesworth’s 225 votes to win a second term as mayor of Daleville.
For Daleville City Council, the winners are Kevin Turley with 507 votes, Jo Reese with 426 votes, Katheryne Magwood Horace with 386 votes, Jimmy Monk with 360 votes and Alan Souders with 330 votes.
In Level Plains, Thompson is the apparent winner of the mayoral race with 162 votes to J.R. Cambron’s 63 votes. Thompson will fill the seat being vacated by Level Plains Mayor Bruce Grantham, who opted not to run for election again.
There are 37 provisional ballots pending voter verification by the Dale County Registrar before being counted and added to the totals in the Level Plains election.
After verification, qualified ballots will be returned to Level Plains for counting. Vote count totals could change with the counting of provisional ballots. Several council position vote numbers are too close to call a winner. Final certification and acceptance of the results will be held Sept. 1 at noon in a special called city council meeting at the community center.
The newly elected officials will be sworn in Monday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m.
