Voters will fill four seats on the 12-member Ocean City Board of Education.

Only two candidates are on the ballot for the three open seats (for full three-year terms). But seven candidates will compete to finish out the unexpired term of board member Greg Donahue.

Donahue resigned in August. His term expires in November 2014. The election will determine which of the seven candidates will complete the final year of his term.
