CHENANGO COUNTY – The unofficial election results from Tuesday night showed no candidate with a clear victory in the City of Norwich mayoral election, with Shawn Sastri and Jill Osterhout-Kraft in the tentative lead.

As of election day, Sastri received 433 votes for City of Norwich mayor, Osterhout-Kraft received 394, former mayor Joe Maiurano received 350 and incumbent Mayor Christine Carnrike received 228.

The board of elections will process absentee ballots in the coming days. There are still 172 absentee ballots pending. The earliest results could be in is by Nov. 12.

Contested Common Council seats for Ward 3 Alderman: Nancy Allaire, 221; Scott Sutton, 165.

For Ward 5 Alderman: David Zieno, 121; Jennifer Olds, 72.

The Town of Guilford board saw a write-in campaign launched by a number of candidates over concerns to build some of the largest windmills in the country in Guilford. The election saw a high number of write-in that could still change the outcome for some races.

Despite a write-in challenge from Dan Harrington, Town Supervisor George Seneck was reelected to office receiving 402 votes, with another 284 write-ins ballots yet to be attributed, but they will not be able to overcome Seneck's ballot lead.

About 40 percent of all votes cast in the Guilford board election, 554 votes, are write-in yet to be counted.

The results of those races will change in the coming days.
