Jason Louie has been re-elected to a third term as chief of the Lower Kootenay Band (LKB), topping the polls with 48 votes in an election period that ended Nov. 30. He is joined by returning Coun. Sandra Luke, who placed second with 39 votes.

A tie, however, of 38 votes each for Wayne Louie and Robert Louie Sr., Chief Louie’s father, has left a third seat to be decided.
