With 84 absentee and questioned ballots still uncounted, one of Unalaska's races is too close to call.

Dennis Robinson leads in the race for City Council seat E with nearly 57 percent of the vote. Write-in candidate Anthony Longo received nearly 41 percent of the vote for the seat, with 161 votes. The final outcome will come down to the 84 absentee and questioned ballots that have yet to be counted.

KUCB will bring you the final results on that race after city officials canvass the absentee and questioned ballots on Friday morning.

The three remaining races have been decided. Thomas Bell won City Council seat B with about 67 percent of the vote, Jolene Longo won school board seat B with nearly 61 percent of the vote, and Fernando Barrera won school board seat E with about 94 percent of the vote.
