Town Clerk Says Polls Are Steady

Residents can vote in both the local election and U.S. Senate primary today at St. Theresa's Parish. The polls are open until 8 p.m.

According to Town Clerk Barbara Stats, the polls "are steady."

"So far, we've had a better turnout that I anticipated," she said.

As of 10 a.m., 784 residents voted.

Most residents are voting in both elections, but some are choosing only one, she said. It's too soon to tell if they are favoring one or the other, she explained.

The results will take longer to count this year given that there are two elections, and the local election's only contested race has three write-in candidates, Stats explained.

The only race this year is for two spots on the School Committee. Current School Committee Chairman Mel Webster is on the ballot and there are three write-in candidates: current School Committee member Michael Kushakji, Joe Veno and Janene Imbriano. 

Check in with us later tonight for results.
