Those are just a few of the unusual requirements for a high school prom happening in Manchester, New Hampshire, later this month, one of many school districts across the country struggling to navigate holding the formal dance in the second year of the pandemic.
Voters in the tight-knit community of Elm Grove will head to the polls April 6, to elect three village trustees.
Six candidates, including two incumbents, are vying for the three open seats. Trustee Kim Irwin is not seeking re-election.
The winners will each serve two-year terms on the village board.
Elm Grove has seen from 13% to 58% voter turnout in the spring election in recent years. This year, voters will also cast ballots for village president, which may encourage stronger turnout. Village President Neil Palmer faces challenger Mary Inden.
Many village trustee candidates touted Elm Grove s strong sense of community and shared thoughts on how to keep the village a great place to live. A 2020 list said Elm Grove was the best place to live in the state.
