The Kalispell City Council appointed Sam Nunnally and Kari Gabriel back to the seats they vacated last month due to election administration errors.
The Flathead County Elections Office this fall accidentally sent out ballots to voters based on old ward districts. A district court judge ruled the election for Nunnally and Gabriel’s seats needed to be redone as a result.
Both members were appointed back to their seats until the election is redone.
