Westborough 2024 Election: See Who's Running

WESTBOROUGH, MA — You'll have a chance to vote more than once in Westborough this March.

Local officials are preparing for the 2024 town election on March 12, which will come one week after the Super Tuesday presidential primary in Massachusetts.

The deadline to return signatures to get on the ballot for the town election passed on Jan. 19. According to the town clerk, there will be three contested races on the ballot: two candidates vying for the school committee seat member Kristen Vincent is vacating; a five-way race with only one incumbent for three library board seats; and a two-way race for the veteran's seat on the Trustees of Soldiers Memorials board.

The Westborough School Committee race could be the one to watch this year, with Westborough High School graduate Tim Askew facing off against Boyd Conklin, a resident who publishes a political newsletter that he has used to call school committee members "groomers."

It's possible the lineup could change, since candidates have until Feb. 8 to withdraw from the election. Here are the candidates set to appear on the town election ballot. An (i) indicates an incumbent.
