UPDATE: Branford Election Results 2021: Cosgrove Reelected

BRANFORD, CT —The polls closed in Branford and voters cast their ballots to have First Selectman Jamie Cosgrove reelected.

He will serve a fifth term in office.

The official results for a number of contested races including Board of Selectmen, Representative Town Meeting, Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, Tax Collector, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals, and Town Constables were slated to come late Tuesday or early Wednesday morning.

But as of 10 a.m., Secretary of State Denise Merrill announced that a technical issue has prevented full election results to be displayed.

“The election night reporting system has a technical issue affecting the display of results, but all of the results are tallied and entered into the election night reporting system locally. All of the results that have been entered thus far are safely and securely stored on the system, but are not currently being displayed. The third-party vendor that manages the reporting system is working right now to display the results as soon as possible. If anyone is interested in getting specific results while we work to fix the issue, please email elections@ct.gov and we will get you what you are looking for as soon as we can.”
