The Fairhaven special town election is scheduled for Monday, 7/26
The field is set, with three candidates on the ballot: Leon Corry, Cameron Durant, Stasia Powers.
The ballot will have a question asking voters if they want to recall Select Board member Daniel Freitas, with a “yes” or “no” vote. Then voters will be asked to pick a candidate.
If the plurality of voters choose “yes” to end Mr. Freitas’s term early, then he will no longer be on the board as of 7/26.
The next part of the ballot asks voters to choose a candidate. The candidate with the most votes will win the election and will be eligible to be sworn in by the town clerk.
