NORWICH – Voters in the 6th Ward went to the polls with a landslide support for incumbent Alderman Robert Jeffrey Tuesday, giving him just under 90 percent of the ballots in his favor.

The Chenango County Board of Elections reported Tuesday that Jeffrey had received 163 votes and Independent candidate Dan Palmer received 19.

Jeffrey also beat Palmer by a wide margin in the Republican primary, 94-15, in September.

“I’d like to thank the voters of the 6th Ward for their support and I hope I can live up to their expectations,” said Jeffrey minutes after hearing the unofficial results.

This will mark Jeffrey’s second four-year term as 6th Ward Alderman.
