It was between Oritz and Kouhel and Josh Miles and Devinne Love. In the final round of voting, Ortiz and Kouhel received 59.28 percent of the vote while Miles and Love had 35.1 percent.

The election was held yesterday and 2,127 votes were cast, representing 28 percent of the eligible voters, according to the press release.
