Norwalk Election Results 2025: Projected Winner Revealed In Norwalk Mayoral Race

NORWALK, CT — Democratic candidate Barbara Smyth is the projected winner in the Norwalk mayoral race, according to unofficial results, the Connecticut Democratic Party announced Tuesday night.

In a Facebook post around 10:15 p.m., the Connecticut Democratic Party said "Norwalk has a new Mayor! Congratulations to Barbara Smyth!"

Smyth ran against Republican candidate Vinny Scicchitano and petitioning candidates John Kyde and Erik Vitaglione. The city of Norwalk has not released final numbers in Tuesday's municipal election yet.

The winner of the mayoral race will take over the role previously filled by Harry Rilling, who announced in March he would not seek reelection after leading the city of Norwalk for over a decade.

The Norwalk Hour reports final results for Tuesday's election will not be available until Wednesday morning due to an issue with a tabulator, according to city officials.

The votes are still being counted in several other local races, and we'll have live results as they are available.

On Wednesday, we'll have vote totals for every candidate. Keep checking back for the latest results and projected winners in key races.
