Voters in Humboldt headed to the polls with a majority name in mind.

Councillor Rob Muench will be the next Mayor of the city after pulling in 1,633 votes.

"We've been spending the last number of years doing lots of planning. Humboldt is projected to grow in population in the next few years and we've put all these plans in place and now it is going to be time to roll up our sleeves and keep moving forward," said Muench following his victory.

Muench added why he thinks voters chose him.

"When you have experience, people are looking for that stability. They know Humboldt is going to be growing and we need to have some faces that have been around the table before so we can keep growing."

Muench and former Mayor Malcolm Eaton have been beside each other in City Hall for the past ten years, and he acknowledged the work done by Eaton.

"Malcolm has been a pillar in our community, leading us for the last 13 years - 10 of which have been in the Mayor's chair - I can't say enough good about Malcolm," he noted. "The way he has represented our community has been awesome."

In second place was Harley Bentley at 269 votes. Shawn Wempe came in third with 81 votes counted.

Muench will have more experience beside him in chambers, as all three councillors running for re-election were given a vote of confidence.

Sandy Weyland, Roger Nordick and Larry Jorgenson are returning to council. Weyland scored the most votes at 1,233, with Nordick and Jorgenson coming in at 1,216 and 1,161, respectively.

Rounding out council will be Michael Behiel, who finished with 1,112 votes. Lorne Pratchler picked up 1,035 votes, while Owen Hopfner made good on his second time running, securing 914 votes - 18 ahead of Terry Schatz, who just missed in 7th spot.

All results are unofficial until Thursday, as declared by the Returning Officer.
