The Eastern Shoshone Tribe released the official results for the Sept. 17 primary election for the Eastern Shoshone Business Council.

The top six candidates were Latonna L. Snyder, Stanford “Doobie” Ware, Sherry Ferris, Clinton Glick, John Washakie and John St. Clair. They will advance to the general election on Oct. 22 and compete for three open seats.

In the days leading up to the election on Sept. 17, some tribal members expressed concerns with incorrect information on absentee ballots and the replacement of one election judge. Protesters gathered in Fort Washakie to voice their frustrations soon after the election. They also successfully petitioned for an emergency special General Council meeting on Sept. 28 to address the issues, but ultimately did not have enough people present at the meeting to have a quorum and vote for any change to the election process.

The tribe also released the official results for the Eastern Shoshone Entertainment Committee.
