The League of Women Voters of Marblehead will hold its annual Candidates’ Night Tuesday, May 20, 7 p.m. at the Marblehead High School library. Attendees are welcome to come at 6:30 p.m. meet candidates who are there. Marblehead’s municipal election is June 10.
This year there are six contested races: Select Board, Cemetery Commission, Board of Health, Town Clerk, Planning Board and School Committee.
LWV Marblehead has an “empty chair” bylaw that applies to local elections. If one candidate in a two-person race isn’t present at the event, the candidate who is present has the same opportunity to speak as if both were there.
Those who attend may submit written questions for candidates to answer. We cannot guarantee that all audience questions will be answered, but they will be given priority.
If you have any questions for the candidates in advance of May 20, submit them to shari.pressman@gmail.com. Make sure you note to which board/committee your question is directed.
The League of Women Voters of the United States is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.
If you’re unable to join us in person, Candidates’ Night will be televised live by MHTV.
