Five ballot candidates vying for two Selectboard seats in Orange election
ORANGE — Five ballot candidates are vying for two Selectboard seats made vacant by departing members earlier this year.
Alexandre Abade Schwanz and Sean MacDonald are competing for the 22-month spot vacated by Mike Bates because of time constraints, while David Ames, Denise Andrews and George Hunt are running for the 10 months remaining on the term Andrew Smith was elected to before stepping down to become assistant town clerk.
Polls will be open in Town Hall’s Ruth B. Smith Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, May 4.
