Branch, NL, re-elected its all-female council with 99% turnout in a tight-knit rural community.
Residents of Branch, a small Newfoundland town, re-elected their all-women municipal council in a recent vote with a 99% turnout, as only four of 165 eligible voters did not participate, mostly due to being away or fishing.
The council, led by Mayor Kelly Power since 2013, remains all-female after eight women ran for five seats.
The group emphasizes community connection through events like children’s parties, dances, and nightly activities at the community centre, aiming to support residents of all ages.
Their sustained leadership and high civic engagement highlight a unique model of rural governance.
