Wayland 2020 Election: Who's On The Ballot

WAYLAND, MA — Like most towns across the state, Wayland was forced to move its spring 2020 election due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The new election date is June 9, but the Town Clerk is encouraging all residents to vote by mail this year due to the pandemic. Otherwise, the town will hold regular poll hours at the town building on June 9 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

There are several important races on the ballot this spring, including a ballot question asking resident to decide on a tax levy lift to pay for a portion of the $4.3 million roof replacement at Loker Elementary.

There are three people running for the Board of Selectmen, including incumbent Cherry Karlson. Douglas Levine is not running for reelection in 2020. There are also two non-incumbents vying for a seat on the School Committee.

Here's what will appear on the ballot:
