Kitchener city council is expected to meet this week to discuss a possible recount, in a race that saw a one vote margin decide the winner.
Retired journalist Frank Etherington was elected, with Debbie Chapman, a university professor, close behind. Both were first time candidates.
Chapman says "it was like a roller coaster because it was sort of up and down."
Etherington says he's never seen a race so close, and has no objection to a recount.
"And if my opponent won," he says, "if Debbie won I think she'd make a fantastic councillor. I thought that all the way through the campaign."
Residents in the area appear to be in favour of a recount, and say more clearly marked polling station might have increased voter turnout and produced more decisive results.
Voters reportedly had trouble finding the polling station inside the University of Waterloo's Pharmacy Building at King and Victoria Streets.
Kay Hofstetter is a voter in the area, she says "There were no signs up to tell you where to go, I had a heck of a time finding out how to get there."
A recount called by council would have to happen within fifteen days. If that doesn't happen, any voter who doubts the outcome can ask a judge to order a recount.
