Voters to Decide on Milford Contests Today

If the campaign signs aren't enough of a reminder, Monday is election day.

 

Milford voters will choose among several contested races today for the annual town election.

A quick recap of the contested races:

  • Selectman Dino DeBartolomeis is seeking an 11th term and is running on a platform of continuing fiscal responsibility. He is challenged by Michael Denice, a contractor for Aer Lingus who said he wants to improve public safety and address illegal immigration impacts.
  • Three School Committee seats are open, and three names are on the ballot: Michael Walsh, the incumbent, as well as Donald Quattrochio, a business development specialist, and Scott Harrison, a bank manager. A write-in candidate, Manuel Carneiro, is also seeking a seat.
  • The other contested race is more low-profile: the Board of Library Trustees has more candidates than positions. Running for two available posts are incumbents Richard Person and Lisa Bacchiocchi, and a challenger, Tiago Da Silva.

Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. This will be the first election in Milford following the 2010 Census, which created an eighth precinct in the town, and the necessity for new precinct lines.

Precincts 1 and 4 are at the Milford Senior Center.

Precincts 2 and 3 are at the Italian American Veterans club.

Precincts 5, 6, 7 and 8 are at the Portuguese Club.

If you are unsure where you are supposed to vote, you can visit the town website, which has a street directory assigned to each precinct, or call the Town Clerk's office at 508-634-2307.
