Special Election scheduled for Salem

In 2019, Salem voters cast ballots in another special election. This time it’s to fill the council seat that opened when Lynn Towe was elected mayor last month. Interested Salem residents are invited to sign up as candidates at Town Hall during a two-week filing period that starts at noon on Nov. 16, 2018. Voters elected Towe to the mayor’s office to succeed Diane Head, who passed away before her term ended. Whoever is elected in the special Jan. 15, 2019, election will fill Towe’s unexpired council term, which runs through Dec. 31, 2019.
