Early voting ended Tuesday, and Election Day was Saturday.
The Ward 3 seat was open with candidates Smith and Sonnier vying to fill the unexpired term of Emmett Hollier.
Council members are elected at large even though they represent a particular Ward.
All Nederland residents were welcome to participate in voting. Hollier maintained his seat until voters selected a replacement.
