Opposed council members that won their positions back, based on the current totals, are Carolyn A. Brown, Claudia Hartness, and Tim Chase.
Current Chief Deputy with DCSO Robin Hood received 50.38% of the votes for Drew County Judge against Jim Glennon and Bobby Harris.

The position of Drew County Tax Collector is still undecided, with a run-off being necessary between Josh Frost and current excutive collector Tonya Loveless.

Josh Frost received 39% of the votes, putting him in the runner up position.
