The Town Election will be held in person tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Voters should enter the front doors of Trottier Middle School, 49 Parkerville Road. (Don’t forget your masks.)
It’s too late to apply for early ballots. Those of you who already have them need to return completed ballots to the Town Clerk by end of voting tomorrow. Your best bet is dropping them in the Town’s green mailbox at the Town Hall (17 Common Street).
As for who to cast your votes for. . .
The Board of Commissioners of Trust Funds
This is one of the positions that is blank on the ballot. Today, William Boland, 35 E Main St (currently serving in the seat) submitted a letter asking for you to write-in his name. You can read that here.
Board of Selectmen
Three candidates are running for two seats on the board. Yesterday, the Community Advocate posted a story on them. The paper asked each candidate questions about what makes them the best person for the job, the Town’s primary problems, and more. You can read their answers here.
You can also read the candidates’ statements previously issued on this blog below:
- Lisa Braccio (incumbent)
- Peter W. LaPine
- Chelsea Marie Malinowski
Assabet Valley Regional Voc. Dist
(The Southborough representative on the committee for Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School)
While the ballot is blank, two candidates are running write-in campaigns for the single seat. Their statements links are below:
- Mark Pietrewicz, 16 Mitchell Street (currently serving)
- Dan Butka, 8 Hubley Lane
Northborough – Southborough Regional School Committee – Northborough Candidate
This one is made interesting by the fact that one candidate is also running for three other seats in Northborough and not traditionally campaigning for why he should be elected to this (or any) seat. You can read more about that here, including my endorsement of the top two candidates in the list below. Below are links to the candidates’ statements in The Northborough Guide:
- Sean O’Shea (currently serving)
- Christopher Covino
- Thomas Dalton
