Unofficial results from the Nov. 3 election show Siletz voters backing a city charter measure, 21-241, by 297 yes votes to 125 no, according to the Lincoln County clerk’s Nov. 10 report. About 97 percent of ballots had been counted when that report was issued. The result is unofficial until counties finish challenges and audits and the secretary of state certifies the election on Dec. 10.
In the same unofficial tally, Will Worman had 356 votes for mayor of Siletz, with no opponent listed in the report. Unofficial council totals were 294 votes for Erik Maiorano in Position 1, 304 for Misty Logan in Position 2 and 294 for Isaac De Anda in Position 4.
Siletz is a small city, and 297 yes votes on a charter amendment is a small-city number. It is still a local measure, separate from Lincoln City’s charter question and from Newport’s bond, and it should not be treated as certified on the basis of a 97 percent unofficial report.
The clerk’s fourth unofficial report is the official unofficial source as of Nov. 10. Updates will come through the county elections office.
