The results of the Broken Hill City Council By-Election held last weekend were released this afternoon.
There were 6 candidates, and it was initially a close race between a couple of the candidates so preferences were needed to decide the final result.
After first preferences the tally stood at 23.70% to former councillor Christine Adams and 22.24% to well known Broken Hill photographer Robin Sellick.

Once second preferences and postal votes (which closed at 6 pm yesterday) were tallied today, the Electoral Commission NSW declared the final result this afternoon and my congratulations go to Christine ADAMS who was announced as the winner.
The other candidates were Geoff Cullenward, Tom Kennedy (a former councillor), Anne Woods and Trevor Cutjar. Five of the candidates stood as independents including Clr Adams. Mr Cullenward stood as a Labor candidate.
The by-election was called due to a councillor, Mr John Groenendjik resigning earlier in the year due to ill health.
As you return to Council for another term, I wish you all the very best Clr Adams.
Cheers, Jane D
