The City of Marshall conducted a drawing by lot to determine the winner of the election for the Ward IV Council Member seat. The drawing took place on August 26.

The candidates taking part in the drawing were Steve Cook, Bruce Knowles, and Harold Simmons.

City Administrator JD Kehrman said all three candidates agreed to hold a drawing to decide the winner for the seat rather than spend money to hold another election.

Cook won the drawing and was determined as the winner of the Ward IV Council Member seat on the Marshall City Council.
