On Monday, Nov. 7, 2022 during a Special Meeting, the Southern Ute Tribal Council approved the Southern Ute Election Board’s recommendation to accept the certification of the 2022 Southern Ute Indian Tribe General Election results.
Pursuant to the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Election Code, to be elected as a member of the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Council in a general election, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes cast for that position. The Tribal Council candidates receiving majority of votes (143) are elected to Tribal Council.
The two Tribal Council candidates that received the majority of the votes are Marvin J. Pinnecoose (175) and Marjorie D. Barry (157), who are therefore, the newly elected Tribal Council Members.
A swearing-in ceremony will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022. Additional details are forthcoming.
The 2022 Tribal General Election vote count and official results:
- Marjorie Barry: 157
- Edward Box III: 74
- Matthew Box: 95
- Marvin Pinnecoose: 175
- Conrad Thompson: 67
