Ballot gaps remain after the second week of the local election season since no additional prospective candidates “pulled papers” to file their intention to run for the 11 open town and school committee seats in the March 30 Annual Town Election. The deadline to pull papers is Thursday, Feb. 5.
According to the Town Clerk’s office, as of the close of business on Friday, Jan. 16, only one person has filed an intention to run for the two open seats on the Sudbury School Committee, and no one has filed to run for the Park and Recreation Commission nor the Planning Board.
None of the eight people who have filed an intention to run has become an official candidate whose name will appear on the ballot. They become official candidates when they return their papers with the required signatures and those signatures are certified by the Town Clerk’s office. The deadline to return papers is Monday, Feb. 9.
