Original story

Polls have closed in Montgomery County and across Pennsylvania, and results are beginning to trickle in for the North Penn School Board primary.

Check back to Patch throughout the night for live election results as they come in.

Four North Penn school board seats are up for grabs, with seven Democratic candidates and eight Republican candidates running in Tuesday's primary. There is significant crossover in both the Democratic and Republican primaries, as seven of those eight candidate cross-filed to run in both party primaries.

The latest results will be listed below as they come in. As of 8:25 p.m., the Montgomery County still had not yet counted any precincts, which is a slower response than typical election year.

Here are the latest vote tallies:

Democratic candidates:

• Ken Keiser
• Jeff Eshleman
• Koh Chiba
• Yanni Lambros
• Christine Coyne
• Thomas Moyer
• Al Roesch

Republican candidates:

• Ken Keiser
• Jeff Eshleman
• Koh Chiba
• Yanni Lambros
• Christine Coyne
• Thomas Moyer
• Al Roesch
• Michael Jowder

Moyer, Jowder, Eshleman, and Lambros have been endorsed by the North Penn United group.

Coyne, Chiba, Keiser, and Roesch, meanwhile, have been endorsed by the more liberal North Penn Neighbors for Progress.

The school board includes nine school directors, so this election could provide significant turnover, with only five incumbents remaining.
