Biennial municipal elections take place this year on November 2, with nine offices on the ballot.

Only four of the races are races: First Selectman, Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, and Planning and Zoning Commission. Candidates for those offices will participate in debates hosted by the League of Women Voters in three sessions this month.
