The Annual Town Election of Tuesday, May 9th netted enough candidates through the write-in process to fill most of the open seats. Candidates who were listed on the ballot ran unopposed and had no problem receiving enough votes to put them in office. Individuals who received the most write-in votes for a specific position were asked if they would accept the job and all agreed to do so. Two positions, Planning Board, 3 year term, and Treasurer, were considered "vacant" or "failure to elect" because there was no clear winner in the tally of write-in votes. In both situations, five (5) individuals were listed as receiving one (1) vote each. The Select Board will have to appoint someone to fill each of these positions. At this time, the Treasurer's job is still an elected office. At the Annual Town Meeting, the town agreed by vote to change it to an appointed position. This does not become official until the current term (3 years) is over.

The following is a list of the winners of this year's annual election:
Sam Davis will continue as ASSESSOR for a 3 year term.
