The voters of Muckhart have elected their Community Council members.
The counting of votes took place on Thursday 4 October in the Coronation Hall, Muckhart. It was a first past the post style election whereby the 12 candidates who polled the highest number of votes were elected.
Voters were instructed that they could vote for one or more candidates, but no more than 12. The count itself took approximately one and a half hours. Several of the count staff were Clackmannanshire Council's Modern Apprentices giving them their first taste of being involved in the democratic process.
Depute Returning Officer, Andrew Hunter who presided over the count said: "We are very pleased with the turnout, 56.2% of the voters returned their papers. I would like to thank Muckhart Community and the candidates for their participation in this election."
The following have been elected as members to Muckhart Community Council: John Anderson; Daniel Conroy, Stuart Dean, Douglas Fisher, Terence Hollis; Jonathan Jordan, Colin Mann, Margot McKerrell, Matthew Pease, Mireille Pouget; Niall Simpson and Marlene White.
