Nomination papers for the Wiscasset select board, school committee and other local offices for the June 13 elections will be available Monday, March 20. The deadline for returning them to the town office is the close of the working day on May 1.

Town Clerk Linda Perry said among the seats up for election are two, two-year seats on the select board. David Cherry and Lawrence Gordon Jr. currently hold the seats.

There is one seat available on the five-member school committee. The three-year seat held by Chelsea Taylor expires in June. Also on the ballot are two, three-year trustee terms on the Wiscasset Water District; those seats are currently held by Gregg Wood and George Knight. There are eight vacancies on the budget committee: three, three-year terms; three, two-year terms; and two, one-year terms.
