BRIMFIELD – Results are in following the Brimfield Annual Town Election on June 21.
At press time, only the unofficial results were released, however, Town Clerk Debra Fagerstrom said the final numbers will not change.

A total of 671 voters cast their election ballots of the 2,873 registered voters in town. Fagerstrom said this is likely the highest turnout in over 20 years. Between the election and the 250 residents who attended Annual Town Meeting, she said this shows that people are “letting their voices be heard in the ballot box.”
Additionally, she said the caucus on April 19 brought in about 200 residents – also which received a bigger turnout than ever before.
Fagerstrom said she “appreciates” seeing younger voters being involved in the town. “I really hope it continues,” she said.
