(KNZA)--Tie votes have been broken from the November 7th general election for city council positions in two Brown County communities.  

The Brown County Commission, meeting Monday as a special canvassing board, drew names from a bowl to break  an 11-way tie for a position on the Morrill City Council and three-way tie for two positions on the Robinson City Council.

Robert Baumgartner won the tie-breaker for the position on the Morrill City Council.

Marvin Massey and Dalton Covert won the tie-breaker for the two positions on the Robinson City Council.

The ties came after a counting of write-in votes from the November 7th   election.

The candidates will be contacted to see if they accept the positions.  If not, the Councils will have to appoint someone.
