In Monday’s Annual Town Election, Lisa Kouchakdjian and Radha Gargeya were elected to the Select Board in a contested race for the two seats.
Elizabeth Sues was elected to the two-year seat on the preK-8 Sudbury School Committee (SPS), filling a vacancy created by a resignation.
Charles Morton and John Ryan won the two seats on the Lincoln-Sudbury (L-S) Regional District School Committee.
According to the Town Clerk’s website, there were 2,398 votes cast, 17% of the town’s 14,214 registered voters. That’s down from last year’s town election, when there were 3,375 votes cast, 25% of the town’s 13,420 active registered voters.
