Shrewsbury Patch Election Policy

Shrewsbury Patch will cover the May 3 Annual Town Election, but will not be endorsing candidates.

To see who's running, see the town clerk's sample ballot. There are four contested races: four candidates are running for two selectman seats, and there are two contested races for town meeting members, one in Precinct 1 and one in Precinct 7.

Shrewsbury Patch is a community site. Though we will be writing our own articles leading up to the election, we encourage participation. Candidates may join the conversation, but with a couple of rules.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Letters to the editor will be accepted from candidates. Letters must be signed and include a phone number and e-mail address for verification. Letters must be 350 words or less.

No more than one letter to the editor, per candidate, per week, will be published.

The last day letters to the editor will be accepted is Tuesday, April 26. The final day letters will be published is Wednesday, April 27.

Letters to the editor, in support of a candidate, will be allowed. The same deadline and guidelines apply.

To submit a letter to the editor, email jennifer.lucarelli@patch.com.

CANDIDATE EVENTS: Candidates, their campaign members and residents are invited to submit fundraiser and other campaign-related events or news. We will publish these notices as we receive them. The maximum word count is 250 words, and the deadline for submission is Monday, April 25. The final day events will be published is Tuesday, April 26.
