PALERMO -- Voters will decide three contests for local offices Friday, March 7, with one likely to have two winners.

On the local ballot, Mark Brundage and incumbent Harry Dean Potter are vying for a three-year term as selectman; Scott S. Childs and Dusty Haskell are competing to be road commissioner for one year; and incumbent Donald Barrett and Edward Robert "Bob" Temple seek the same three-year School Board term.

However, School Board member Tina Nelson has resigned effective Friday, creating an immediate one-year vacancy. The School Board has scheduled a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday to appoint a new member.

Both Barrett and Temple expect that whichever man loses the election will finish Nelson's term.

Palermo's annual town meeting begins at 1 p.m. Friday in the town office meeting room with election of a moderator. Polls will be open until 8 p.m. for local elections.
