West Hartford 2021 Election Results: The Numbers Are In

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The results are in for the 2021 West Hartford election.

Official results were not available until midday Wednesday from the office of Secretary of the State Denise Merrill. A problem with a third-party vendor which manages election information for the secretary's website had been preventing results from being displayed.

Seats in several local races were up for grabs Tuesday night, the two major ones being scholastic's board and the West Hartford Town Council.
