There are several contests on the ballot to be decided on the Monday, May 10 election, many with names familiar in town for years or even generations - but also some relative newcomers.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Lancaster Town Hall (not the municipal office building).
Contested races include a three-year seat on the Board of Selectmen, two, three-year seats on the Finance Committee, and a two-year seat on the Planning Board, with the five-year seat on the Planning Board subject to a write-in campaign.
Every candidate vowed to work better with town departments, employees and volunteers as a priority.

“It’s an important event for our city to take a pause and remember what it really stands for,” said David Jackson, Army veteran and vice president of the Santa Clarita Memorial Day committee. “Servicemembers, men and women who have served our country who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.”
