Write-In Candidacy Declaration Form Now Available Ahead of June 13 Election

The deadline for candidates to return their nomination forms for local elected office was Friday, April 14, 2023. However, those who missed the deadline and wish to declare themselves as a write-in candidate may do so.

The deadline for declared write-in candidate submissions is 4 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023, and prospective candidates must print and complete this form, then return it to Town Hall by that deadline. Any declared write-in candidacy submissions received after the May 1 deadline will not be considered.

The available public service positions for the June 13 election include Gray Town Councilor, MSAD 15 School Board of Directors, and Gray Water District Trustee

Write-in candidates provide an alternative way for voters to choose their local elected officials. By casting a vote for a declared write-in candidate, voters can express their support for someone who may not have had the opportunity to participate in the traditional nomination process. While a declared write-in candidate’s name will not appear on the ballot, the vote for a declared write-in candidate will be counted.
