Ballots stuffed as many file

Perhaps it’s the recession speaking – people have less outside work to distract them and are more concerned about getting their money’s worth out of government – but there are fewer empty races on local ballots than usual this year.

With a few exceptions – notably the three Code of Ethics seats in Hudson and a few positions in Lyndeborough that may have been affected because the school clerk went home sick Friday, the last day to register to run – voters will see relatively few blank spots on their March 10 ballots.

Following are the names of candidates who have filed for open positions, as reported by town and school clerks. Incumbents are marked with an “i.”
