Special Election Report
November 3 General Election Results
Unofficial · Updated Wednesday, Nov. 4, 12:30 p.m.
All results below are unofficial. Provisional, overseas and military ballots remain to be counted, and no result is final until each county board of elections completes its official canvass later this month. Statewide and congressional figures are the Associated Press count with an estimated 98% of the expected vote reported. Fulton and Williams County figures are the final election-night reports from each county board of elections, with every precinct reporting. Issues that cross county lines (Evergreen, Pettisville, Swanton Public Library, Four County ADAMhs and Central Local) now include the votes from the neighboring counties. The Village Reporter will continue to update these results as additional figures become available.
Party designations are listed after each candidate’s name. (R) means Republican, (D) means Democratic, (L) means Libertarian and (Other) identifies a candidate listed as another party or without a Democratic, Republican or Libertarian designation. Individual results for write-in candidates were not reported on election night. A check mark shows who or what is ahead.
