CHINA: Nomination papers still available for November 4, 2025
On Nov. 4, China voters will decide two elections, choosing three members of the select board for two-year terms and one representative to the Regional School Unit (RSU) #18 board of directors for a three-year term.
As of Friday, Aug. 15, Town Clerk Angela Nelson said three residents had taken out nomination papers for select board: Cathy Bourque, Brent Chesley and Gordon Riordan.
Select board members whose terms end this year are chairman Wayne Chadwick and Jeanne Marquis.
Nelson said incumbent Dawn Castner and Heather Neal had taken out papers for the RSU position.
Signed nomination papers must be returned to the town office by the close of business Friday, Sept. 5, for candidates’ names to be on the Nov. 4 ballot.
China voters used to elect members of the planning board and the budget committee. In 2024, they voted to have members of these committees appointed by the select board.
