County offices, local measures, judges and other local offices on Franklin 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.

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.
