Arlington 2018 Town Election Results: Selectmen, Ballot Question

ARLINGTON, MA – Arlington held its town election on Saturday, April 7 to little fanfare. It was not much of a contested race this year, with three people running for two board of selectmen seats and one ballot question. A handful of town meeting precincts also saw more challengers than seats.

According to the town's unofficial results, 15.86 percent of registered voters in Arlington hit the polls over the weekend. They re-elected Joseph A. Curro, Jr. to the board of selectmen with 41.43 percent of the vote and sent John V. Hurd to the board with 37.30 percent. A. Michael Ruderman received 20.91 percent of the vote.

The ballot question to make the town treasurer and collector of taxes appointed positions was approved 60.69 percent to 39.31 percent.

The treasurer and collector of taxes will serve the remainder of the term to 2020. In the interim, the process and authority for making such an appointment will be developed and sent to the Town Meeting.
