Sample Town Election Ballots Available Online

The town clerk’s office has put sample ballots online in advance of the March 13 town election.

The ballots are broken up by precinct. For the first time, there are eight precincts in Wellesley. The differences on each ballot have only to do with Town Meeting member voting.

The Board of Selectmen will be a contested race. Incumbent Terri Tsagaris, longtime Town Meeting Member Royall Switzler and Planning Board Chair Don McCauley are vying for two seats. Selectman Owen Dugan is not running for re-election.

The School Committee race is also contested. Incumbent K.C. Kato, Jennifer Looper and Tere Ramos are vying for two positions.

The office released information about the new polling places as well.
