The final, unofficial results are in for the November 8, 2011 General Election. Voters in Marion County said no to every new tax, but approved renewal levies for local schools. The additional tax for Tri-Rivers, along with Turning Point, River Valley, and the sales tax increase for Marion County all failed. Scott Schertzer remains the Mayor of Marion after defeating Jim Gilsdorf by earning nearly 67 percent of the yes votes.

Kelly Carr remains as City Auditor and Mark Russell remains as the City Law Director.

The results will be made official in the coming days following the checking of provisional ballots and out-of-country ballots.
