CHENANGO COUNTY – On Tuesday, residents in Chenango County voted in local elections, with just a handful of ballots determining a number of the outcomes.

Following Tuesday night's voting, county and state election officials have released the unofficial results and current leaders. Though most, not all the votes have yet been counted including absentee and avadaits ballots, so final numbers will change.

Unofficial election results are based on the unofficial results reported to the state by each county board of elections and are posted as a convenience to the public.

It usually take about 25 days for all the ballots to be confirmed for a general election, as each county board must certify their local results. Any race within a 20 vote margin must be recounted by hand.

Chenango County District Attorney Michael Ferrarese was reelected with no other candidate running, receiving 5,242 votes.

Most of the local races in Chenango County only had one candidate, but not all.
