LISBON – Residents in Lisbon may face a runoff for one seat on the Charter Commission after Saturday’s election ended up in a tie for the last slot, with H. Courtenay Fenn and Warren G. Greim each receiving 101 votes.

Garnering the high vote in the seven-way race for six openings was former Selectman J. Michael Huston, 131; followed by another former selectman, David A. Bowie, with 130. Also elected were retired Water Commissioner David A.Hale, 127; and Kenneth G. Wells and former Selectman Robert A. Berube with 116 votes each.

According to Town Clerk Twila Lycette, the Board of Selectmen will have to decide how to resolve the tie between Fenn and Greim, and a runoff vote may be needed.

The Board of Selectmen previously appointed three residents, Constance Moran, William Bauer and Charles Smith, to the nine-member panel, which will have one year to come up with the town’s first charter. That charter will go before voters on a referendum ballot next year.

Lycette said a total of 162 votes were cast out of 6,500 registered voters, and only one ballot was blank.
