UPDATED – 05/14/24 – School Board elections were held throughout Delaware on Tuesday. In Sussex County, three districts had contested races – all for 4-year terms.

County Election Director Bo McDowell tells the Talk of Delmarva that voter turnout was very low. He said there was a bad internet connection at the polling location at Indian River High School but the issue was resolved by calling the main office to check on voters districts prior to letting them vote.

A report of a voter being turned away was investigated. Election officials went to the voter’s home to see if they could take them to the polling location and learned the person had not been there to vote.

In the Indian River School District Anita West-Werner was the winner with 492 votes to 343 for Joshua Hudson.

In the Delmar School District, Russell Smart won the election for the at-large seat with 385 votes. Dawn Turner received 178.

Three candidates ran for the at-large seat in the Woodbridge School District. John Campbell topped the votes with 401, followed by Brian Swain with 231 and Kristie Thomas with 52.
