LEWISTON — Ward 5 voters still have no School Committee candidates as the deadline to make November’s ballot approaches.
City Clerk Kathy Montejo said no candidates have notified her office saying they intend to run a write-in campaign for any city seats. Write-in candidates have until Oct. 7 to file their intentions with the clerk’s office, according to the charter.
No candidates qualified to make the ballot for School Committee in Ward 5. Montejo said the mayor will appoint a member if no write-ins step forward.
The election is scheduled Nov. 5. The terms for the newly elected begin in January 2014. All seats for the City Council and School Committee are open. That includes the mayor, councilors for all seven wards, school committee members for all seven wards and the at-large School Committee seat.
