The Democratic and Working Families parties prevailed Tuesday in the election to fill four open seats on the Hartford Board of Education.

In an unofficial count Democrat Lori Hudson led the way with 1,461 votes, followed by Working Parties candidate Elizabeth Brad Noel with 1,430, Working Families candidate Robert Cotto with 1,258 and Democrat Luis Rodriguez-Davila with 1,196.

In light turnout of about 7 percent, voters chose from a crowded field of 13 candidates including Democrat Albert J. Barrueco; Working Families candidate Sharon Patterson-Stallings, who finished fifth with 1,184 votes; Republicans Michael J. Fryar, Nyesha McCauley and Richard Barton; Parents Choice candidates Lillian Milly Arciniegas, Mary R. Storey and Cherylann Perry; and petitioning candidate Inez Duke Pegeas.

Noel, who was not re-endorsed by the Democratic town committee, and Rodriguez-Davila are incumbents.
