Voters Will Have to Write in Mount Greylock School Committee Candidates

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Voters in Lanesborough and Williamstown will need to write in candidates' names in the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee race on Nov. 3.

Six residents qualified to be on the ballot for four positions on the seven-person committee that are at stake in the biennial election.

But none of those six names will appear on the ballots voters take into the polling booth.

"Due to a series of clerical and technological issues, ballots for Mount Greylock Regional School District's School Committee for each of Lanesborough and Williamstown will have blank spaces instead of names," current School Committee Chair Julia Bowen wrote Tuesday in an email to local media.

Instead of simply filling in an oval next to the candidate of their choice, voters will need to mark that oval *and* write in their preferred candidates' names and addresses on each line next to the marked ovals.

As always, voters in both the school district's member towns vote for candidates for all School Committee positions.

In the current election cycle, two seats designated for Williamstown residents and two seats designated for Lanesborough residents are on the ballot.
