2012 General Election

Official Results
The County Clerk's office is responsible for tabulating and certifying the results of elections for county, state and federal offices and referenda. These results are labeled as Official Canvass. All other results appearing on this page, i.e. municipal and school district elections, are unofficial. Occasionally, we may not have access to results from every school district and municipal election. If you are looking for a race that does not appear on the following pages, please contact your municipal or school district clerk for that information. A municipal clerks directory is available on the County Clerk's Webpage.
