41 local contests in Cumberland County

County offices, city and town races, school boards and local measures on Cumberland County's ballots, from Cumberland County's election-night results. Names are as the county prints them. "Ahead" describes the current count; it isn't a race call, and we don't call measures. The county's file also lists votes for each name written in, after its write-in row. In every contest and precinct that row is at least those names added up, so it reads as the write-in total, and only it is shown.

Margins compare the Democrat and the Republican only. The 2024 column is the presidential margin in the same places as each race's votes here. Shift is this year's margin minus it, shown once at least 90% of the expected vote is counted. A dash means there's no 2024 figure for those exact places.
