Get Immediate Election Night Results Tuesday on Brookfield Patch

Brookfield Patch is piloting a new election reporting tool that will let readers know who won minutes after the polls close.

Brookfield Patch will be trying something new on Election Night, using the internet and the latest online data tools to bring you the results straight from the polls as soon as they close Tuesday night.

Working with the Town Clerk, Registrars of Voters and poll moderators, Patch has developed a reporting tool to provide live and easy to understand results minutes after the polls close.

As the vote tallies are entered, charts like the ones above (but with the candidates’ names) will update automatically, showing the winners and how the votes break down.

Be sure to sign up for our Twitter and Facebook feeds to know when to begin refreshing the page to see the results come in live.

Once both voting districts begin reporting in (see the Districts Reporting chart), Brookfield Patch will be prepared to start calling winners for each race.

Absentee and Election Day Registration ballots will be added later and all reported results are unofficial until verified by the Town Clerk’s Office.

A special thanks to members of the Brookfield High School Paw Print newspaper who will be helping out at the polls Tuesday night.
