ELECTION UPDATES TONIGHT

In case you didn't notice, there's an election today.

The Municipal General Election takes place today, with open Borough Council seats in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Wards, the Mayor's office, the District Court 15-1-04 seat, and four seats on the West Chester Area School District Board of School Directors on the ballot in West Chester. Other than the school board races, there really isn't much to write home about as far as borough races are concerned.

At the county level, the Clerk of Courts, Treasurer, Comptroller, and Coroner offices are up for grabs. There are also two competitive district court races - Avondale and Lionville - and races for state-wide judicial offices at stake as well. Chester County President Judge Paula Francisco Ott is running for one of the four open seats on the Superior Court - the appellate court that hears all appeals from Common Pleas Court except for cases involving state, county, or municipal agencies, which are heard in Commonwealth Court.

Unplugged will be posting election returns as they become available. Polls remain open until 20:00 tonight.
