The votes have been tallied, and the results are in.

This election's voter turnout has been reported as substantially higher than 2012's election.

Swift Current's municipal election has produced a new Mayor, Denis Perrault, who takes over the reigns from Jerrod Schafer, after serving two terms on Swift Current's City Council.

Surrounding Perrault at Council Chambers for the next four years are two fresh new faces on Council, as well as four familiar faces who are returning for another term after their re-election.

Chris Martens and Bruce Deg are now in the infancy of their first term, with Ryan Plewis, Pat Friesen, Ron Toles and George Bowditch returning to familiar surroundings.

Perrault and the six Councillors are set to be sworn in on November 7th during the first Council meeting of the new term.
