The deadline for filing nomination papers has come and gone, leaving voters with two contested races in town elections this year. Current Zoning Board of Appeals member Leo Bartolini will challenge incumbent Bill Boland for a seat on the Board of Selectmen. In the race for Planning Board, Andrew Mills and Sam Stivers will vie for a 1-year term on the board.
All other races have as many candidates as they have available seats. Here’s a look at the names you’ll see on the ballot at town elections in May.
