Washington – A 4-year-old boy
was re-elected mayor of the
community of Dorset in the
northern U.S. state of Minnesota.
Residents of the community of
25 people confirmed Robert
“Bobby” Tufts as their mayor on
Sunday in a vote at a local
festival, a worker at a general
store said.
The post is symbolic because
Dorset was incorporated into a
neighbouring municipality and
has no official local government.
The community holds a draw to
elect a mayor with residents
paying one dollar for each of
their votes. A dog and a rooster
have also been in the running
for mayor. (dpa/NAN)
