There are also two seats open on the School Committee with only one candidate — newcomer Michael Contreras — on the ballot. Amy O'Connor, currently serving on the School Committee, launched a write-in campaign for re-election.

Each of the other townwide positions — Board of Assessors, Board of Health, Housing Authority, Library Trustees, Planning Board, Moderator, and Constable — has only enough candidates on the ballot to fill the seats up for election in this cycle.

There are between 16 and 24 candidates for town meeting member spots with the six precinct ballots set to be finalized to reflect that over the next few days.
