(KAIR)--The race for three open seats on the Atchison City Commission has been finalized.

During a canvass of ballots Monday by the Atchison County Commission, Commissioners decided to accept 17 of the 27 provisional ballots cast during the November 7th election. A provisional ballot is used to record a vote when there are questions about a given voter's eligibility.

As a result, winning a 4-year term on the Atchison City Commission were newcomer Shawn Rizza and incumbent Dr. Allen Reavis, who currently serves as Mayor.

Elected to a two-term on the Commission was incumbent David Hausmann.

Unofficial results from the November 7th general election had Hausmann trailing newcomer Floyd “Jay” Robinson by one vote, 467 to 466. Hausmann picked up 12 additional votes Monday after the provisional ballots were counted and Robinson picked up 2, which made the final vote count 478 to 469 in favor of Hausmann.

Seven candidates sought the three open seats on the Commission.
