Norfolk residents will head to the polls on Tuesday, May 6, for the Annual Town Election. The election will feature contested races for several key positions, including Select Board, Planning Board, Norfolk School Committee, Library Trustee, Moderator, Board of Health, and Recreation Commission.

All in-person voting for the election will be held at the Freeman Kennedy School, 70 Boardman Street. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

According to Town Clerk Carol Greene, there are about 8,100 registered voters in town, and in a typical town election, only 5 to 13% of those voters cast a ballot.

Given the number of races in this year’s election, Greene hopes to see a turnout closer to 20%.

To help voters make informed decisions, Local Town Pages posed questions to the candidates in four of the races: Select Board, Planning Board, School Committee, and Town Moderator. See the following pages for their responses. Due to space considerations, we regret we could not profile each race.

“I’m glad to see so many people interested in running for positions,” said Greene. “We always appreciate those willing to volunteer their time in service to the town.” 

She added there are openings for positions on several appointed boards. Interested residents can call 508-440-2855 or email [email protected] for more information.
