Hugh Harrington was elected to the Pittsboro Town Board of Commissioners in March in a special election for the Board’s last open seat.
Harrington finished six votes ahead of Michele Berger in the November elections to win the Board’s third open seat. However, 17 voters received incorrect ballots, and the State Board of Elections in December authorized the new election because the ballots could have affected the outcome of the election.
In the special election, Harrington received 385 votes, while Berger received 299 votes.
