Westport Island Town Clerk April Thibodeau has announced town elections are June 13 at the Old Town Hall, 1217 Main Road, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and two have two-way races.
Julie Casson and Lisa Jonassen are running for the third select board seat, which Ross Norton now holds. Norton has served on the board about a decade and a half and was last re-elected in 2020, according to Wiscasset Newspaper files. According to information Thibodeau released, Norton will not be on the ballot. He did not immediately return messages from Wiscasset Newspaper.
Barbara Cray and incumbent Richard DeVries are in a contest for one, three-year Sheepscot Valley Regional School Unit seat; and Interim Road Commissioner Jim Cromwell is unopposed on the ballot for the two years left on Garry Cromwell’s unexpired term of road commissioner, Selectman Jeff Tarbox said. Garry Cromwell resigned last September, according to Wiscasset Newspaper files.
Thibodeau noted voters also face the SVRSU budget offer.
Absentee ballots can now be requested and will be available starting Tuesday, May 16, Thibodeau said at the April 24 selectmen’s meeting.
Town meeting is at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 24, also at the Old Town Hall. Selectmen continue their budget work.
