In unofficial results released by the Marshfield School District today, Kajal Sitwala has received the most write-in votes, receiving 723. Adam Fischer came in second with 263, and Keith Pugh was third with 129. Dale Yakaites was the only person on the ballot and was elected with 4473 votes.

According to School Board and State Election rules, Sitwala can choose to take the seat or refuse it. If refused, the School Board would then appoint a candidate to fill a one-year term that would be up for election in spring 2020. The candidate elected in 2020 would fill a 2-year term instead of a 3-year.

Election results will become official after the April 9th Board of Canvas meeting.
