Fort Deposit voters elect new mayor, council members
Voters in Fort Deposit have elected a new mayor and city council members.
Residents chose Madelene Means as the town’s new mayor. Means beat the incumbent Jacqulyn Boone 271-199.
In the District 2 town council, the results for that race are as follow:
- Lillie Davison 105
- Adriana Gray 206
- Yvonne Jones 128
- Willa Perdue 125
- William Stiener 118
- Debbie Webb 183
Voters had to choose three candidates for that seat, so Gray, Webb and Jones took home the top spots.
The election came after a judge threw out some results of the town’s August 2025 municipal election.
As Action 8 News has reported, those results of the mayor’s race and the District 2 town council race were thrown out because of the discovery of hundreds of illegal absentee votes.
Questions were first raised last September, which led to a lawsuit filed by the town attorney.
