After two provisional ballots in last Saturday's Timpson City Council election were verified Tuesday, the outcome of Saturday's city council election has changed.

Councilman George Grace received two additional votes to unofficially win re-election. Challenger Kenny Walker had apparently defeated Grace, 77-76.

However, Timpson Mayor Debra Smith tells Center Broadcasting there were three provisional ballots, with one being discarded since they registered after the cut-off date. The other two were verified at Voter Registrar Debora Riley's office Tuesday morning and the results were announced at city hall after lunch in favor of Grace.

Councilwoman Janell Baker also picked up two more votes from the provisional ballots.

Mayor Smith said Walker, or any of the candidates have two days after canvassing, if so chooses, to request a re-count at their expense by May 21.

Unofficial, all three incumbents are re-elected:

Kyle Allen 95

Kenny Walker 77

Linda Hancock 74 

Janell Baker 82

George Grace 78
