A sample ballot for the election on March 27, 2017 (click to enlarge).
Polls will be open in the Smith gym on Monday, March 27 from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the town election, which includes numerous town office races and three ballot questions. The expenditures in the ballot questions—$75,000 apiece for a used bucket truck and a dump truck for the Department of Public Works, and $150,000 for a community center feasibility study—were approved at Town Meeting on March 25 but must also garner a majority at the election.
Two of the town offices are contested: the one-year remaining term for selectman in the wake of Renel Fredriksen’s resignation, and the three-year term for Bemis trustee. Jonathan Dwyer is running unopposed for a full three-year term on the Board of Selectmen to replace retiring member Peter Braun. Links to past Lincoln Squirrel articles abut the candidates are below.
