Voters will head to polls on Monday, April 13, to make decisions that could send the town sprawling in a new direction following an election season that boasted major races and ambitious campaigning.

The 2026 annual town election features a mix of incumbents of municipal offices gracing the ballot, or bracing for an ouster, as newcomers vie for seats in town government ahead of the Town Meeting in May. 

In what could be an administrative shakedown with ripple effects, this year’s election will ask voters to fill a seat on the Somerset Berkley Regional School Committee. A new town moderator will be chosen from two candidates seeking to replace longtime moderator Lucia Casey, who announced in February her plans to retire. Four candidates are closing in on one available office on the Board of Selectmen.
