Early signs of 'heightened' interest in Kennebunk 2021 local elections
KENNEBUNK, Maine – Nomination papers won't be available until later this month for those who wish to run for office during this June's local elections, but Town Clerk Merton Brown said people are already showing an earlier-than-usual interest in them.
"Early interest is a good indicator that interest is heightened," he said.
Brown said several people started calling his office more than three weeks ago to ask procedure-related questions about the nomination papers, which will be available at the Kennebunk Town Hall starting Feb. 26. Such early interest is a first, he said.
