Steve Nelsen has increased his lead over incumbent Greg Collins in the Visalia City Council election, according to figures released Friday by the Tulare County Elections Division.
Nelsen has a lead of 269 votes over Collins, up from a 131-vote lead posted Tuesday night after the polls closed.
The new figures reflect the counting of absentee ballots that were turned in at the polls or arrived by mail on election day. About 2,000 more absentee votes from across the county remain to be counted.
Three seats were up for election on the five-member council. Mike Lane, Warren Gubler and Nelsen garnered the most votes and are apparently the winners, ousting Collins and incumbent Jesus Gamboa.
