The decision by Gerald Quirk of Sudbury to withdraw as a candidate for the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District School Committee leaves only one candidate, Carole Kasper of Lincoln, in the race with two seats open. The League of Women Voters of Sudbury will invite write-in candidates for that race to participate in Candidates Night on Monday, March 5.
Anyone who sends written notification of his or her intention to be a write-in candidate to the Sudbury or Lincoln town clerk or the Lincoln-Sudbury registrar by the end of the business day on Friday, March 2, will be invited to participate in Candidates Night. Closing hours on Friday are noon for the Sudbury town clerk, 5 p.m. for the Lincoln town clerk, and 3 p.m. for the Lincoln-Sudbury registrar. Write-in candidates are not required to file their intention with town clerks or the registrar and may enter the race at any point, but will not be included in Candidates’ Night unless they file a written intention to run by that deadline.
If there are three or more candidates for the two seats, the League will offer a panel in that race with the chance for all the candidates to introduce themselves and respond to questions. If there are only two candidates for the two seats, the race will be treated as uncontested and the candidates will have a chance to introduce themselves.
Candidates’ Night will be held in the auditorium at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School on Monday, March 5 at 7:30 p.m., with a chance to meet the candidates starting at 7:15 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The program also includes candidate panels in the races for Sudbury Board of Selectmen and Sudbury School Committee (K-8).
