The chairman serves a two-year term at a salary of $7,500 per year.
The candidate filing deadline was extended for both town chairman and for a town supervisor seat, after the incumbents in both races declared they were not running for re-election.

BURLINGTON â This is not your grandmotherâs bakery.
At Hopscotch Cakery in Downtown Burlington, the sweet treats come with a little extra edge and attitude.
Since opening its doors in February, the bake shop at 133 E. Chestnut St. has been surprising and delighting customers with creations that are, to say the least, unusual.
Specializing in cupcakes, owner Megan Schroeder and her crew roll out new flavors every week â some sounding like they were invented in a laboratory.
âWe really explore all kinds of weird things,â Schroeder said. âThatâs what makes us unique.â
The mouth-watering creations have included such combinations as almond cake with vanilla buttercream; brandy-flavored cake with plum jam; coconut cake with pomegranate buttercream; and chocolate cake with crushed chestnuts.
