2023 Milford Election: Everything To Know About Spring Election

MILFORD, MA — Milford voters will head to the polls Tuesday for the 2023 spring election, which will feature two contested races for seats on the school committee and planning board — plus several other key uncontested races.

Here's everything you need to know about who's running in 2023 and how to vote.

Where, when to vote

Polls will be open in Sudbury from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday. The town will offer two polling places, depending on your precinct.

• Precincts 1, 6 — Senior Center, 60 North Bow St.
• Precincts 2, 3 — Italian American Veterans Hall, 4 Hayward Field
• Precincts 4, 5, 7, 8 — Milford Portuguese Club, 119 Prospect Heights

Not sure which precinct you're in? Here's a map.

Voting by mail

If you've opted to vote by mail this year, ballots are due back to the town by 8 p.m. on Tuesday. It's likely too late to actually mail your ballot, so your best bet is to either drop in the box outside town hall or hand it in at the clerk's office.

Who's on the ballot

In 2023, only races for seats on the Milford School Committee and the Milford Planning Board will be contested.

On the school committee side, only Michael Aghajanian is returning to run for reelection. Longtime member Jennifer Parson has bowed out after nearly a decade on the committee. Although not an incumbent, candidate RJ Sheedy is also running for a seat after serving as an appointed committee member in 2021.

The Planning Board is also guaranteed to see new faces. There are two separate races for two seats, and incumbent Patrick Kennelly has opted not run. John Ted DePaolo Jr. is running for the remaining three years of a seat he was appointed to last year.
