These Seats Are Up For Election In The 2021 Sudbury Town Election

SUDBURY, MA — With the last election only a few months behind us, it's time to start looking forward to Sudbury's spring 2021 election.

The Sudbury Town Clerk last week began accepting nomination papers for candidates. There are a dozen seats up for election in 2021 across eight town boards, plus the Town Moderator and Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee races.

This year, there are two seats on the Sudbury Select Board up for election. Incumbents Daniel Carty and Select Board Chair Janie Dretler said this week they will both run for another three-year term.

Here are the other seats up for election in 2021:

Town Moderator (3-year term)

• Elizabeth Quirk

Sudbury School Committee (3-year term)

• Seats held by Lisa Kouchakdjian and Silvia Nerssessian

Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee (3-year term)

• Sudbury Seats held by Ellen Joachim and Cara Doran

Board of Assessors (3-year term)

• Seat held by Chair Joshua Fox

Goodnow Library Board of Trustees (3-year term)

• Seats held by Lily Gordon and Marie Royea

Board of Health (3-year term)

Parks and Recreation Commission (3-year term)

• Seats held by Robert Beagan and James Marotta

Planning Board (3-year term)

• Seats held by Stephen Garvin and John Sugrue

Sudbury Housing Authority (5-year term)

The 2021 town election will be held on March 29. Candidate packets will be available at the clerk's office through Feb. 4, and the deadline to return them is Feb. 8. The last day to register to vote will be March 9, and the clerk is encouraging residents to register online.

In 2020, the state allowed everyone to vote by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. Those rules expire on March 31, which means Sudbury voters will still be able to vote by mail instead of going to the polls.
