Voter turnout was low Nov. 8 in all major cities in Owyhee County, but those who did cast their ballot made sure some new faces will be seen in city council seats in Marsing and Homedale. The election that did seem to draw in voters was for a commissioner in the Gem Irrigation District. Unofficial results show that incumbent David VanWassenhove lost his bid for another term to Elmon Thompson by 113 votes. There were 357 ballots cast in the irrigation district election, nearly twice as many votes cast in either city council election in Marsing or Homedale. Thompson won the approval of 60 voters City leaders cast ballots in Marsing and 175 voters in Above: Homedale Mayor Paul Fink, right, waits to receive a ballot Homedale.
