Special election for Ward 6 School Committee, Tuesday, December 6

[ron_newman]

We're having a special election for Ward 6 School Committee next Tuesday, because Paul Bockelman resigned in order to become Town Manager in Amherst. You have to really drill down on the city's website to even know this is happening. I've seen one or two official paper signs around town announcing it.

There's only one candidate on the ballot, Paula O'Sullivan. I know nothing about her, as I've never encountered her or her campaign in any way. Any further information would be appreciated.

Here are the unofficial results. Only one more voter came to your precinct after you. I was voter #48 at 6:30 pm.

(And two people cast blank ballots!)

Thanks for the posting the results. I was wondering what the total turnout was...

Three polling places, each open 13 hours, with a total of 141 votes. Which means a voter about every 16 minutes at each polling place.
