It's been nearly a week since Election Day, and one Nassau County legislative race still has no declared winner.

Just 25 votes separate the two candidates in the contest between Democrat Juleigh Chin and incumbent Republican Scott Strauss.

At one point last week, the race was separated by a single vote.

Chin currently holds the narrow lead.

The Nassau County Board of Elections is expected to continue counting absentee ballots until Tuesday.

Once that process is complete, officials will determine whether a recount is necessary.
