CLARKSBURG, Mass. — There are no candidates yet for the Select Board with one week to go before nomination papers are due. 
 
Jeffrey Levanos, who was the only candidate in a special election in 2021, will not run for another term. 
 
Levanos had previously said he was done with public service after serving three terms on the School Committee and two on the Select Board, including being chairman of each at the same time for a period. But vacancies on the board twice had him running again. 
 
He ran as a write-in in 2019 to complete a term when no one stepped forward and on the ballot in the December 2021 election to complete a three-year term ending this year.
 
Also on the ballot this year are one-year terms for moderator and tree warden; three-year seats on the School Committee, Board of Health, Board of Library Trustees and War Memorial Committee; and one five-year term on the Planning Board. 
 
Nomination papers are now available in the town clerk's office. All signatures must be in ink; no electronic signatures are allowed. Completed nomination papers must be returned to the clerk's office for certification no later than Wednesday, March 27.
