The complete list of candidates etc can be found on the Town Clerk’s web site here.
Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated the number of incumbents in Precincts 5 & 10. There are 5 incumbents running in Precinct 5 (not 6) and there are 5 incumbents running in Precinct 10, not 6 as originally reported. Lastly, there is one seat with a two year term in Precinct 9. The corrections have been made.
