(Undated) -- City council seats were filled in special elections in Providence and Pawtucket this week. Oscar Vargas was the winner of the council seat held by Sabina Matos in Providence. The seat became vacant when Matos was appointed lieutenant governor. Vargas was the only name on the general election ballot after a competitive primary. Similarly in Pawtucket, an available seat went to Clovis Gregor, who won a primary in June and only faced write-in votes on Tuesday.
