<tt>I'm confused. Last week someone was asking why the posters were up
so soon, 'The election wasn't until May.'<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>The 25 day length of the "official" campaign is established by
Town code. <br>

<tt>Yes, as soon as the petitions have been checked (on 9 Apr, 5:00pm)
the
slate of candidates will be announced by the Chief Elections Judge.<br>

<tt>As in days of old the official list of candidates will be posted on
the Town Hall door. Additionally, the Town web page and Town Announce</tt><tt>
would be places to
look for the official list of candidates. Sample ballets will be posted
in each ward as soon as the Chief Election Judge can get them printed.<br>
<br>
{Sorry, I don't intend to make light of your valid question. As I was
thinking about what the correct "official notification" is in this
electronic age, this image of someone nailing a sheet of illuminated
velum to the Church door popped into my head.}<br>

<tt>As for public statements and positions it is up to the candidates
to run their campaigns. Melissa, I'm sure Mayoral and Council
candidates for your ward will be by to see you.<br>
