JAY, Okla, -- Delaware County released unofficial results for April 6 municipal elections, including for Colcord, Grove and Kansas.

The unofficial results were released on Wednesday, according to results.okelections.us. Elections were certified at 5 p.m. on Friday and no runoff elections will be required, according to Anna Reece, assistant secretary for the Delaware County Election Board.

Both Wiles and Eason will serve four year terms. They are expected to be sworn in during a special meeting or at the next town meeting, which will be on May 13, according to Town Clerk/Treasurer Kelly Calvert.

The city does not have wards s0 the top two candidates who received the most votes won the two open trustee seats, Calvert said.

Josh Hopper defeated Billie Sue Lenington for an unexpired term in Colcord. Hopper received 77 votes, or 89.53 percent, and will serve two years. Calvert and Office Manager Laura Poteet were unsure of whom Hopper will be replacing.

Calvert retained her position with 34 votes or 38.64 percent of the vote. She will serve a four year term also. She beat out four other candidates for the position.

In the town of Kansas, Bob Coleman, a volunteer for the town's fire department, won the board of trustee position with 26 votes, or 47.37 percent of the votes.
