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.

The current Corona pandemic which has been raging for the last one year, has severely tested mankind, the world over. No country or people have been able to insulate themselves from this global catastrophe. And even as it seems that things are improving, a second or third wave comes along, and pushes us back. After one year, we have better medicines, better protocols, we probably understand the virus behavior better, we have vaccines and yet, we are struggling badly. The medial profession is doing a commendable job, and every government is doing its best, to keep things under check. But we somehow don t seem to be winning this war.
