Mansfield Gets Ready to Hold Town Election

When Mansfield goes to vote tomorrow in the annual town election, there will be no contested races on the ballot.

The lack of candidates and almost certain expectation of the results likely means a low turnout at the polls tomorrow.

In the selectmen race, incumbents Olivier E. Kozlowski and Douglas R. Annino are both running for reelection.

For the two school committee seats, Lynn Cavicchi and Linda Fernando are the only candidates. Incumbent Lisa M. Losiewicz pulled papers but opted to not run for reelection.

Other uncontested races include Kevin J. Doyle for housing authority, Elizabeth J. Dye for an unexpired term on the housing authority, and incumbent Robert H. Sarquet is once again running for moderator.

While an election with few candidates may not motivate most to vote, the low turnout in tomorrow's election could give a write-in candidate a chance to sneak in and win an elected position.

Polls at Mansfield High School will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
