WARWICK — With no contested races, there were no surprises in Monday’s town election.

Voter turnout was approximately 10.7%, as 75 of Warwick’s 701 registered voters cast their ballots.

While there were no contested races, Louise Doud mounted a successful write-in campaign to claim a vacant Warwick School Committee seat. Doud ran for the seat to support the school’s initiatives.

“I love what is happening at Warwick Community School and admire my fellow townspeople who worked so hard to create the new project-based, nature-centered curriculum and get it approved by the state,” Doud previously said in an email. “Warwick citizens care a great deal about the education of our children and fully supported the reopening of Warwick Community School under our own Warwick School District. I am inspired by that and want to be part of its continued success.”

The full election results are as follows:

■Selectboard, three-year term — Keith Ross, incumbent, 73 votes.

■Assessor, three-year term — Tracy Styles, 73 votes.

■Board of Health, three-year term — Donald Matthews, incumbent, 70 votes.
