County offices, judges and other local offices on Essex County's ballots, from Vermont's official results file. Names are as the state prints them. "Ahead" describes the current count; it isn't a race call, and we don't call measures. Write-in votes are shown together as one row, because the state's files count dozens of write-in names with a few votes each; a write-in candidate a town lists among the candidates is marked write-in.
