It’s official: Steve Fairbairn wins Elkford by-election
The District of Elkford today (April 4) officially declared Steve Fairbairn as the winner of the March 31 by-election.
In accordance with the Local Government Act [Section 136(2a) and (2b)], Leanne Jensen appointed Chief Election Officer for the 2012 District of Elkford By-Election, declared Steve Fairbairn to the office of councillor for the District of Elkford.
