Special Town Election Scheduled for November 8th

The Town of Halifax will be holding a special election on Tuesday, November 8th at the Halifax Elementary School. The Town will elect two Selectmen: one with a term expiring in 2024 and the other expiring in 2025. For anyone interested in running for either position, nomination papers will be available in the Town Clerk’s office starting tomorrow Wednesday, August 31st at 8 AM.

I will say the response to last week’s resignations has been tremendous, not only from people here in Halifax, but from folks far and wide. People from every corner and all walks of life have approached me with the same question: “What can I do to help?” One possibility—volunteer to be a poll worker!

Many of our current poll workers are already going to be used for the state election process and Mass. election law says we need to use our own separate workers to handle our town election even though it’s at the same time and place. With that in mind, there will likely be a need for at least a handful of additional workers. By doing this you can feel good knowing you are personally helping us get to the finish line of this unprecedented ride.

To the small group that may doubt the people of Halifax will rise to this challenge, I have one word for you—Watch. Watch what we do.

I am certain with all my being that we will use these recent events as a rallying cry to show everyone what we’re made of. It’s what Halifax does.

Good luck to all candidates, I hope everyone has a great first day of school tomorrow, and if anyone has any questions whatsoever feel free to come up and ask, because I’m not going anywhere.

Thank you,
 

Jonathan A. Selig
Halifax Board of Selectmen
