County Clerk: Only Caldwell Remains to be Called

Candidates won't know results of tight council race until Monday afternoon.

More than a week after the election, Essex County officials continue to count “buckets” of votes coming in from post offices that were flooded or without power after Hurricane Sandy devastated the region, County Clerk Chris Durkin said Wednesday. In addition to mail-in votes, emailed, faxed and provisional ballots remain to be counted. Final results will not be available until the afternoon of Monday, Nov. 19, the deadline set for mail-in votes by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.

Caldwell's Edward Durkin says he will announce candidate's name in coming weeks.

Caldwell Democratic council candidate Edward Durkin will have a running mate in November, but it won’t be Stephen Modica.
