Due to the fact that syndicated reruns cut off the epilogue, viewers no longer find out if Ellie wins the election.
Frank Ferguson, who plays 'Sam Lindsey' in this episode, was also "Wilbur Pine," the man that marries Rose in episode 1, "The New Housekeeper." He would also play 'Charles Foley,' the butcher, in two later episodes. But more importantly, Mary Treen, who plays 'Clara Lindsey' in this episode and in "Those Gossipin' Men," actually played 'Rose' in episode 1, "The New Housekeeper." It is ironic that not only did they use the same actress in this episode who originally played Rose, for her husband in this episode they also used the same actor who played her husband in "The New Housekeeper."
In "Ellie for Council," Barney is seen dating Hilda Mae, who is again mentioned in "Christmas Story."
Even though "Ellie" is part of this episode's title, Elinor Donahue still is not credited for her role. Nevertheless, her "fashions" are credited.
The customer in the dress shop is trying on dresses in the main showroom of the shop, not in the privacy of a dressing room. The front door is a few feet away from her, opens directly to the street and it is not locked. Anyone could come in and see her undressed.
