You can view the full election results on the Ranked Vote website. This offers a dynamic round-by-round breakdown of the votes and who won.

Or, if you prefer, the results are also available in a PDF spreadsheet version.

The results were close.

The largest margin of victory was only 165 votes (Mike Snowplowski over Saltwise Gamgee) and the smallest was just 4 votes (Sno’diggity over Plowmetheus).

We would like to thank the hundreds of people who submitted names and say thank you to the thousands who voted.

Hopefully, this brought a little bit of joy to all those who submitted names. And perhaps you may even learned a little bit about the snowplowing service provided by the Parks and Streets Divisions.

We would also like to thank Wisconsin Salt Wise for once again hosting our name election, and for their important work in helping protect Wisconsin’s waters.

We would especially like to thank the individuals who submitted the snowplow names that were selected by the voters: Christina Miller (Anne Pathaway), Lindsey Trimbell (Mike Snowplowski), Bonniejean Zitske (Princess Sleigha), Brian Hucek (Sno’diggity), Kirsten Jones & TJ McManus (Snowceratops), and Anthony del Ciello & Cindy Debroux (Plower to the People).
