CHESTERVILLE — Three new selectpersons were elected March 15 to fill seats which incumbents decided not to seek or were recently vacated.

Linda Bauer has been replaced by Earl Martin Jr. for a three-year term on the Select Board. He received 54 votes. There were seven write-in votes for Maitland Lord and 20 blank ballots.

Jason Ward will fill the one-year term that had been held by Anne Lambert. He received 61 votes. There were nine write-in votes for Anne Lambert and 11 blanks.

Justin Richards received 49 votes to fill the remaining year for that seat on the Select Board. Lord had 26 write-ins and there were six blanks.

In the election there were 81 ballots cast.

Martin, Ward and Richards were sworn in to assume their duties after the annual town meeting on March 18.
