PAXTON — Voters will gather at 7 p.m.
Monday, March 6, for vote number one as they prepare for the annual town election on May 8.
The Town Caucus is a tradition in which voters gather to nominate candidates instead of requiring paper nominations and signatures, although that option is always open to potential candidates.
Rather than candidates filing papers, which would be due by March 20, voters can set the ballot when they gather at the Paxton Center school for what is usually a quick and efficient process to set the ballot.
While many are intending to run for re-election, some have chosen not to run or have not decided, so it will be up the voters who show up — as always — to nominate and then cast their votes.
The positions, terms and incumbents are: Select Board for a three-year term, Kirk R.
Huehls; Assessor for a threeyear term, Doris E.
Huard; Board of Health for a three-year term, Judy A.
Hatstat; Cemetery Commission for a threeyear term, Joanna A.

Ruane and Bennie Peter Warren Jr.; Library Trustees, two three-year terms, Patricia Dawson and Sandra M. Fields; Moderator for a threeyear term, Roger J.
Brunelle; Municipal Light Board for a three-year term, Michael J. Benoit; Planning Board for a five-year term, Robert E. Jacobson; Recreation Commission, two threeyear terms, Diane K.
McMorrow and Jeffrey Cormier; Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School District (Bay Path) Committee for a threeyear term, Robert A.
