Clarke Campbell-Sparrow was re-elected to one of the commission positions, with a three-way tie for the two remaining positions.
Due to this unique situation, a by-election was planned to elect two of the three candidates that tied. When the Electoral Officer notified the three candidates of the by-election, Carl Point respectively declined to run in the by-election, resulting in Dickie Louis and Wilfred Wilson being automatically elected.
Congratulations to Clarke, Dickie and Wilfred in being elected, and thank you to everyone who voted.
