7:30 p.m.

Thirty minutes before polls close, voters were still popping into Town Hall to cast their votes.

As of 7:20 p.m., 239 voters from Precinct 1 and 133 voters from Precinct 6 had filled out ballots, election workers said.

For reference, there are 17,901 registered voters in town, Town Clerk Michele Bissonnette said Tuesday night.

4:05 p.m.

Voters trickled into Redmen Hall to submit their ballots on Tuesday.

Election workers said 137 people had voted in Precinct 4 and 135 people had voted in Precinct 5 as of just after 4 p.m.

While the inside of the voting location was pretty quiet, outside cars whizzed by on Main Street.

Four hours before polls closed, Howard Smith was standing on the sandy dirt next to the busy road, holding aloft a sign for Town Clerk candidate Michele Bissonnette.

The man wore a ballcap emblazoned with the American flag and “USA,” and his Town Clerk sign was topped with a taped-on Betsy Ross flag. Some cars honked as they passed by him.

“I believe in the democracy process,” Smith said, adding that his wife, Town Moderator Claire Smith, had also been out holding signs earlier today. They’ve campaigned for Bissonnette before, he said.

12:30 p.m.

By lunchtime, more than 200 voters from precincts 2 and 3 had cast their ballots at the Ethel E. Hammond School in Onset.

Election worker Cathy Anderson said the turnout was middling. Not the best she’s seen, she said.

“Is it bad? I’ve seen worse,” she said.

Campaign signs from various candidates lined the top of the fence surrounding the school’s basketball court as one voter, Linda Scharf, held a sign for Select Board candidate Tricia Wurts across the street.

Scharf said she’d been there since 8 a.m. and voters throughout the day had been friendly. Having lived in Onset for about six years, she said she knew most of the people who were showing up to vote.

Scharf said she’s voting for Wurts because she values the candidate’s communication skills.

“I trust her to keep the citizens in mind and to be accessible, to really facilitate good communication,” Scharf said. She added that Wurts’ work in that area has been strong so far and said she thinks Wurts could help the whole board better communicate with voters.

10:45 a.m.

Nearly 100 people had voted in Town Hall by 10:45 a.m., election workers said Tuesday morning.

Fifty-four residents in Precinct 1 and 43 residents in Precinct 6 had cast their ballots in Town Hall by 10:45 a.m., workers said.

10:30 a.m.

Tuesday marked Marcia Campbell’s first time out holding signs for a candidate on Election Day, but she said she’s been fighting for accessibility in town for decades.

She started when she was 16, Campbell said, sending letters to Town Hall asking for a sidewalk on Fearing Hill Road, which she called one of the “most scariest roads in town.”

There’s still no sidewalk on Fearing Hill Road.

Campbell, who’s disabled, has kept up the fight for accessibility across town, from sidewalks to streetlights.

She spent Tuesday morning holding up a sign for Select Board candidate Jody Santagate, who Campbell said she feels actually listens to her concerns.

Campbell said in her opinion, town officials generally don’t resolve problems that don’t affect them directly.

“We’re overlooked,” Campbell said of the disabled community.

What’s on the ballot

Six candidates are up for three seats on the Select Board in what has been a hotly contested race this year. 

Two town employees are running for Town Clerk. Also on the ballot, newcomers are running unopposed for Town Moderator and the School Committee.

Three of the five Select Board seats are up for votes with only one incumbent in the race.

Two are three-year positions currently held by Patrick Tropeano, who isn’t running for reelection, and Jim Munise, who is. Ronald Besse, Jody Santagate and Jared Chadwick will join Munise on the ballot for those seats, and the top two vote-getters will be elected.

Also up for a vote is a one-year seat to be vacated by Peter Teitelbaum. Brenda Eckstrom, a former member of the board, will be on the ballot, as will Tricia Wurts, who ran a write-in campaign last year.

Incumbent Michele Bissonnette is running for a second term as Town Clerk, and she faces a challenger for the seat: Jenna Deane, another town employee. 

Margaret Ishihara is the only candidate for Town Moderator — a role that has been held by Claire Smith for the last 12 years. 

Brennan McKiernan is running unopposed for School Committee. 

Two incumbents are also unopposed: Peter Dunlop for Sewer Commissioner and David Halberstadt for Assessor.
