Claremont Election Results

City election results are rolling in from Claremont, New Hampshire, reports The Eagle Times.

Five incumbents (Chair Frank Sprague, School District Moderator Tracy Pope, District Clerk Mary Woodman, District Treasurer Jane Hunter, Board Member Michael Petrin) on the ballot kept their spots, running largely unopposed. The only opposition was 18-year-old Stevens High School student Tyler Sullivan, who received 153 write-in votes.

All seven articles up for vote passed, including the $38.2 million school budget.

Voter turnout was very low, as only 1047 of Claremont’s 6332 registered voters made a trip to the polls. Some point to COVID-19 for the lower turnout, with the state now having five confirmed cases, though that hypothesis has not been proven.
