Here is a list of candidates on the ballot.

Westwood Town Clerk Dottie Powers expects at least 90% of registered voters to turnout this election. There are approximately 10,000 registered voters in town.

"There will be lines," Powers said. "We'll do the best we can [to move them along]."

Powers also reminds voters that school is in session and to be aware of young children in the area.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. If you are already in line and haven't gotten to cast your ballot at 8 p.m., you will still be able to vote.

The Town Clerk's office will be open on Election Day, but only for Election business. Again, if you have any additional questions you can contact the Town Clerk's office.
