Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect current members of the board who retained their seats.

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Two Cinnaminson Board of Education members secured re-election Tuesday night, with one new face stepping up to serve the school district.

Unofficial results from the Burlington County Board of Elections show that Michael Bramhall, Christine L. Turner, and Katherine Bleistine secured the most votes from township voters:

• Michael Bramhall (incumbent): 3,381
• Christine L. Turner (incumbent): 2,950
• Katherine Bleistine: 2,725
• Christine Trampe (incumbent): 2,616
• Eileen Bleistine: 2,403

Results are unofficial; vote-by-mail and provisional ballots may affect final totals.

Republican Stephanie Kravil was running unopposed for Cinnaminson Township Council, and secured 4,097 votes. The race for Cinnaminson Township Fire Commissioner was also uncontested, with Danny Norman and Patrick Richards.

Democrats are forecast to keep the sheriff's office and county commissioner seat.

Current undersheriff James J. Kostoplis, a Democrat, has a lead of about 18,000 votes over Republican Mike Ditzel to take over the Burlington County Sheriff's position.

One county commissioner seat was on the ballot, and unofficial results show sitting Democrat Allison Eckel is up on GOP challenger Jeff Fortune by 20,000 votes.

In total, the county reports more than 45 percent of registered voters cast ballots for Tuesday's election: 162,031 people voted of 356,496 registered.

And there will be no change in Washington for Cinnaminson residents, as incumbent Democrat Andy Kim is forecast to beat Republican yacht company executive Bob Healey in the 3rd Congressional District.
