PELHAM Three incumbents, including the town moderator, town auditor and a member of the Board of Assessors, received the most write-in votes at this week’s town election and can, if they choose, continue serving Pelham.
There were no contested races in Tuesday’s election, which drew 93 of 1,033 registered voters, for a 9% turnout.
Moderator Daniel Robb, with 31 write-in votes, can keep the position for another year, while John Trickey received three write-in votes to stay on for another year as auditor. In addition, Gwendolyn Huber got 11 votes to remain on the Board of Assessors for three more years.

PELHAM Several vacancies in elected positions in town government could be filled by write-in candidates at Tuesday’s town election, which, like last year, features no contested elections and only incumbents running for reelection.
Voters can vote in person from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Ramsdell Room at the Pelham Library, 2 South Valley Road.
A ballot without contests and featuring write-ins is not unusual in Pelham, even before the COVID-19 pandemic that made collecting signatures for nomination forms last June difficult. A January 2020 special election for a vacant seat on the Select Board, for instance, yielded only write-in candidates, and the top vote-getter at the time declined the opportunity to serve.
