Wilmington Voters Head To The Polls To Choose Selectmen, School Committee

(Editor's Note: Copies of the sample ballots for the Municipal election and the Senate Primaries have now been attached to this story.)

The voting process will be a bit different for Wilmington residents who head to the polls on Tuesday.

Rather than just receiving one ballot on which to make their selections, they can expect to take two separate ballots into the voting booth.

While the Board of Selectmen opted to hold the municipal election on the same day as the Special Senate Primary, both are distinct, individual elections. So voters will be handed a Municipal Ballot and will also take either a Democratic or Republican Senate Primary Ballot.

With just two contested races, the Municipal Ballot will look something like this:

Board of Selectmen (2 seats for three years)

I - Michael Newhouse

Daniel Murphy

I - Lou Cimaglia

Kevin MacDonald

School Committee (3 seats for three years)

I - Margaret Kane

I - Kathleen Carroll

Julie Broussard

Jennifer Spear

Donna Leone

Housing Authority (1 seat for 5 years)

I - Robert DiPasquale

Shawsheen Tech Regional School Committee (1 seat for three years)

I - Robert G. Peterson

I - Incumbent

It should be noted that Michael Bodner, while not appearing on the ballot, has announced he is running a sticker campaign for School Committee.

As for the Senate Primary, the Democratic ballot will pit Congressman Ed Markey against Congressman Stephen Lynch. The Republican contest is a three-way race between newcomer Gabriel Gomez, former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan and State Sen. Dan Winslow.

When Are The Polls Open?

Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

So where do you go to vote?

Residents from Precinct 1 and 2 vote at Boutwell School, voters from Precinct 3 and 4 will cast their ballot at Wildwood School and residents living in Precinct 5 and 6 will head to Town Hall.
