NORTHAMPTON — The city will hold a preliminary election on Sept. 28 to narrow the field of candidates for mayor in November’s election to two.
City Clerk Pamela Powers confirmed Wednesday that a preliminary election will be necessary after three mayoral candidates were certified for the November ballot — Shanna Fishel, Roy Martin and Gina-Louise Sciarra.
The Board of Registrars also has certified Rosechana Gordon’s voter signatures, but she has yet to pick up her nomination papers from the registrars and bring them to the city clerk’s office. If that happens by the deadline of Aug. 13, she will be added to the preliminary ballot.
