On April 6, voters will again head to the polls to choose a chairperson of the Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education after incumbent Chairwoman Paula Lewis was nearly ousted tonight by Charles Henry, the current District 1 board member.

Henry received about 47.8 percent of Tuesday’s primary election vote, with Lewis receiving about 44 percent. Wilfredo Santos Rivera received about 8 percent.

That means Henry and Lewis will square off in a general election set for April 6 because neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the primary vote. Results from today’s elections can be found by visiting the Oklahoma State Election Board. All results are unofficial until certified by the board.

The election for Edmond Public Schools Board of Education District 1 will also move to a runoff on April 6.

Incumbent District 1 representative Lee Ann Kuhlman received about 27 percent of the vote, with challenger Margaret Best finishing first by receiving about 34 percent of votes.
