Absentee ballots are being handled differently this election than they are during even-number years.  All absentee ballots will be counted together, with the results separate from the day-of election results.

Here are the absentee ballot totals:

Decorah 2nd Ward:

Emily Neal 114 votes

Dan Kirkeby 32 votes

Decorah At-Large:

Kirk Johnson 194 votes

Gary Rustad 158 votes

Decorah Community School Board (elect two)

Brian Petersburg (inc) 233 votes

John Hjelle (inc) 221 votes

Alecia Bucksa 135 votes

Reginald Sampson 73 votes

Kerry Johnson 64 votes

Once again, the ballots cast on Tuesday will be ADDED to these totals for final totals.
