Century Vote Certified
March 4, 2017
It’s now official…Luis Gomez, Jr. has been elected to the Century Town Council.
The Century Canvassing Board met Friday morning with the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office to certify the results of Tuesday’s special election for Seat 2 on the council.
The board certified that a hand count of the vote by mail and election day ballots matched preliminary totals that were announced Tuesday night. Gomez received 119 votes, while Kevin Stead received 86.
One additional ballot was determined to be an “undervote” with the voting machine unable to read which candidate was selected. The voter marked the ballot with an “X” that did not cross into either circle for a candidate. In the event the ballot would have made a difference in the election outcome, the canvassing board would have considered which candidate the voter intended to select.
There were 205 total votes cast from among Century’s 986 registered voters….a 20.8% turnout. During last fall’s general election for mayor, Century saw a 57.6% turnout.

@ chris you never have anything good to say if you don’t live here in century we rather not hear your comments if your live here and don’t like the town leave enough said
less than 25% turnout should cut down on the comments when Gomez doesn’t do exactly what the people want.
Probably didn’t score very high on his SAT test either..;)
