(KNZA)--A name has been drawn from a hat to break a tie vote from the August 7th primary election for a township clerk position in Brown County.

Brown County Commission Chairman Steve Roberts Tuesday drew the name of Tom Gudenkauf to win the position of Walnut Township Clerk.

Gudenkauf and Jared Hartter each received seven write-in votes during the primary election.

Neither candidate was present for the drawing.

The Commission meet as a canvassing board Tuesday to certify the results from the election.
