(Editor's Note: Some candidates were on the ballot multiple times, which is why you may see two or even three numbers included next to a candidate's name. Also note, that several candidates involved multiple towns and the numbers below reflect Milford alone. Once full results are in for all towns, we'll note the overall winner. Check back for more updates. These results are still unofficial as of now.)
