STOUGHTON, MA After two years as Stoughton s interim town clerk, the Select Board on Monday voted unanimously to officially give Stephanie Carrara the position.
Carrara has served as the interim town clerk since 2019 and has worked in the clerk s office since 2009.
Several Select Board members, including Bob O Regan and Christine Howe, gave Carrara credit for handling the election process during the coronavirus pandemic. Howe said mail-in voting is likely to be a part of Massachusetts elections going forward, so her experience and past success with that are critical.

Stoughton’s first responders received a shot in the arm as well as a morale boost as the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered at the police station beginning on Jan. 11, according to Town Manager Robin Grimm.
“I want to thank the two chiefs – Chief Laracy and Chief McNamara – for setting up schedules for this,” she said, complimenting the fire and police heads, respectively. “This wasn’t as easy as it sounds because we knew there would be the potential for some mild side effects.”
Grimm was able to partner with Sharon in order for both towns to have enough participants to receive the coronavirus vaccine.
