GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Guntersville City Council held a meeting to canvass election results a little earlier than expected on Friday and the mayoral race now stands at a perfect tie.

On Tuesday, the Guntersville Mayoral Race ended with Incumbent Mayor Leigh Dollar beating challenger Jeff McLaughlin by only a single vote, but there were still several provisional ballots left to count.

During a special called meeting on Friday to canvass the election results, City Clerk Betty Jones said the city had 10 provisional ballots between regular and absentee ballots. Ultimately, Jones said the Marshall County Board of Registrars found that seven of those votes could be counted.

During the meeting, Jones counted those ballots with four votes going to McLaughlin and three going to Dollar.
