Four potential gaps on the Town Election ballot remain with a week and a half to go until the deadline to return papers.

While people have pulled papers for all the open seats, several have not yet returned nomination papers. The deadline to return papers is Monday, Feb. 9.

The people who have filed an intention to run but have not yet returned their nomination papers with the required signatures are: Charles G. Russo for Select Board, Ryan James Poteat for Park and Recreation Commissioner, Julie Zelermeyer Perlman for Planning Board, and Ellen Lederer-DeFrancesco for Sudbury School Committee.

The Town Clerk’s office certified this week the nomination papers of two people: Liam J. Vesely for Board of Assessors and Julie Leigh Durgin for Sudbury School Committee. They are now official candidates whose names will appear on the ballot.

The Clerk’s office previously certified the nomination papers of Ingrid J. Mayyasi and Elizabeth Mathews Iwasaki for Goodnow Library Trustee, Susan Ruth Sama for Board of Health, and Ravi Simon of Sudbury and Jason McLure of Lincoln for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.

Prospective candidates who file an intention to run will not appear on the ballot unless they return their papers with the required signatures and those signatures are certified by the Town Clerk’s office. The deadline to return papers is Monday, Feb. 9.
