After several hours of vote-counting, Nov. 2, returning officer R\u00e9mi Poliquin declared Suanne Stein Day elected to chair the Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB).<\/p>\n

Of the 11,431 valid ballots recorded, Stein Day won a plurality of 5,256 votes (46%) against 3,650 votes (32%) for runner-up Chris Eustace and 2,525 votes (22%) for third-place opponent Angela Nolet.<\/p>\n

This was the first election when voters could directly chose who would fill the powerful post of chair.<\/p>\n

In addition to picking the chair, voters also selected who would represent their school district.

\nLocal results<\/b><\/p>\n

In the tightest battle of the election, Mary Ann Davis ousted incumbent Sergio Borgia by just 22 votes in District 1. Davis garnered 334 (41%) votes against Borja\u2019s 312 (38%). The remaining two candidates, Bob Dubois and Jim Bytheway trailed at 93 (11%) and 85 votes (10%) respectively.<\/p>\n

Since the Quebec government reduced the number of LBPSB commissioners from 21 to 12, the race turned into electoral musical chairs in several districts which saw two incumbents vying for a single seat.<\/p>\n

That was the case in District 2, where Frank di Bello (506 votes\/58%) bested fellow commissioner Ruben Fazio (372 votes\/42%).<\/p>\n

In District 3, newcomer Joshua Arless (759 votes\/60%) outpolled incumbent Patrick Whitham (515\/40%).<\/p>\n

Two newcomers bid for the District 4 seat, where Noel Burke eked out a tight 24-vote win (644 votes\/51%) over Craig Buchanan (620 votes\/49%).<\/p>\n

Voters picked experience in District 5, casting 440 ballots (46%) for incumbent Nan Beaton, as against 269 (28%) for Martha Bond and 241 (25%) for David-James Smith.<\/p>\n

Another battle of the incumbents played out in District 6, where Craig Berger won (679 votes\/62%) over fellow outgoing commissioner Ruth Dangoor-Gdalevitch (422 votes\/38%).<\/p>\n

Likewise, Laura Derry (713 votes\/61%) bested outgoing commissioner Linton Garner in a cordial race in District 7.<\/p>\n

Election officials declared incumbent Marty Sherman acclaimed as the only candidate in District 8, after fellow incumbent Don Rae dropped out of the race last month.<\/p>\n

In District 9, recently appointed incumbent Eric Bender (710 votes\/68%) outpolled newcomer Marc Lucke (327 votes\/31%).<\/p>\n

Voters returned incumbent Domenic Pavone to office with the strongest proportion of votes of any candidate (575 votes\/70%) over opponent Margot Place (245 votes\/30%) in District 10.<\/p>\n

As previously reported in The Suburban,<\/i> each of LBPSB\u2019s two off-island school districts saw their sole candidate acclaimed.<\/p>\n

Incumbent Daniel Olivenstein will represent District 11 and newcomer Wayne Clifford will serve as District 12 representative.
