BARTLETT — There is one race on this year’s ballot, and it’s for a three-year term on the board of selectmen. Longtime incumbent Gene Chandler is being challenged by Ray Hodgkins, who has also signed for a seat on the zoning board of adjustment.
Voting for town and school officials is scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Glen Fire Station on Tuesday, March 8.
