Sarah Steinberg Heller retained her lead in Peterborough’s recount of Planning Board votes Thursday afternoon. This means that she and Stephanie Hurley are the two three-year term elects, joining one-year term-elect Joshua Blair after the town’s May 11 election.

Although Hurley easily won the most votes, the recount was requested after runner-up Steinberg Heller initially appeared to secure the second open three-year spot on the Board by just one vote. The recount revealed that she actually won by 11 votes.

The final ballot count is as follows:

Sarah Steinberg Heller: 515

Lisa Stone: 410

Blair Weiss: 504

Christopher DiLoreto: 317

Lindsay Dreyer: 355

Stephanie Hurley: 814
