Candidates Kathleen Schultze polled 205 votes and Martin Mitsoff 97. There were two write-ins and 83 blanks. 
 
Curran was the managing director of Images Cinema until recently and Sussman has served on the town's Finance Committee and Milne's Friends of the Library. 
 
Incumbents Stephanie Boyd and Shana Dixon were each re-elected to three-year terms on the Select Board and Nate Budington for one year to complete the unexpired term of Jeffrey Johnson, who stepped down last fall.
