CHESHIRE, Mass. — Nomination papers for the May 3 town election are now available by appointment at the town clerk's office.

The second selectman seat is currently held by Ron DeAngelis, who won it as a two-year term in 2019 as part of the expansion of the board from three to five members. This year, the winner of the election will have a full three-year term.
 
There are three Planning Board seats up for election for terms of five years, four years, and two years.
 
Also on the ballot are three-year seats each on the Board of Health, the Cemetery Commission, Board of Assessors, and the Water Commission, which also has a one-year seat.
 
Town officer positions are a three-year term for tax-collector, currently held by Rebecca Herzog, and three-year town clerk position, currently held by Christine Emerson.
 
There are also two three-year terms on the Hoosac Valley Regional School Committee, representing Cheshire and the other for Adams. They are currently held by Bethany DeMarco and Michael Mucci Jr.
