Hartford Election Results 2025: Polls Close, But School Board Races A Foregone Conclusion: UPDATE

HARTFORD, CT — The polls have now closed as Hartford residents cast their votes for four school board positions in town, but the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Hartford's school board has four elected spots open this year, with all four incumbents running unopposed. The rest of the school board is appointed.

As a result, all four will serve new terms leading the city's school system, regardless of the vote tally.

Because of the quartet of unopposed school board hopefuls, all were guaranteed election once the voting commenced on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Hartford City Council and mayoral elections are every four years, and the next one is in 2027.

The votes are being counted, and we'll have live results throughout the night. Keep checking back for the latest results and projected winners in key races.

Here are the local candidates (All of them are being re-elected):

Board of Education (Vote for up to three)

Democrats: Francoise C. Deristel-Leger, Cristher Estrada-Perez, and Tyrone V. Walker

Working Families Party: Shonta M. Browdy
