ORANGE There are no contested races in this year’s town election, set for May 17.
Most positions have enough candidates to fill each available seat, while seven have no one running at all.
The election had been scheduled for March 1, but the Selectboard voted in November to move it to a date when the COVID-19 pandemic was expected to be more under control. Town Clerk Nancy Blackmer said keeping the election’s original date would have required people to go door-to-door during a potential coronavirus surge to collect the 25 signatures needed to get onto the ballot.
