Apparently, registered voters in Northampton County municipalities are satisfied with their current leadership.

Unofficial results from Tuesday’s election show that incumbents were the top choice among area voters with most political veterans seeking a return to office without opposition.

In Conway, long-time Mayor Brian Bolton ran unopposed and collected 79 votes. For Conway Town Commissioner (five seats available), Willie G. Simmons (96 votes), Lance Jenkins (82), Gail C. Wade (69), Alan C. Harris (65) and James Thomas Jilcott (59) were the top vote-getters of those whose names were on the ballot. There were 133 write-in votes cast, but it was not known Tuesday night if there was a write-in candidate or candidates with more votes than Jilcott or Harris.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Northampton County Board of Elections was still pouring over a rather lengthy list of write-in ballots. Elections Director Susie Squire said those ballots would be finalized by 11 a.m. on Nov. 12, at which time the names on those ballots could be released to the public.
