There isn’t a late surprise in the race for Position 4 on the Langley City Council.

Island County’s election office released a new tally late Thursday on the vote in the Primary Election, the third such count since Aug. 16, and Thomas Gill is still leading in the three-way race.

The battle between Bruce Allen and Jonathon Moses for the second spot on the November ballot remained unchanged, with no additional votes counted in the race and Allen up by five, 147-142.

Gill has 158, which is 35.5 percent of the vote. Allen has 32.8 percent, and Moses, 31.7.

The top two will advance to the General Election.

In the three-way race for Langley City Council, Position 3, Jim Sundberg still leads with 45 percent of the vote, while Robin Adams has 31 percent. Kathleen Waters, with 23 percent, will watch the outcome in the General Election from the sidelines.

Voter turnout for the primary in Island County was estimated at 40.4 percent.

Ballots were sent out July 25, but Waters said earlier this week that she thought the tipping point for Langley came near the end.

“I do believe that this particular election was won in the last two weekends before the vote,” Waters said.

Proposition 1, the petition-inspired vote to change Langley’s form of government, dominated talk in the village. No one seemed much interested in all the candidates on the ballot, Waters said, and that’s too bad.

“It was really, really a sad thing that Prop. 1 came up at the time when we had multiple candidates for office,” she said. “Nobody paid any attention, as far as my canvassing and what I heard, to the candidates.”

Prop. 1 was rejected with a 76-percent “no” vote.

The next vote update is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 30. The county election’s office estimates there will be about 25 ballots countywide to review.

The vote tally will be certified as official Wednesday, Aug. 31.
