Competitive Town Meeting Races

How competitive are the 2019 Town Meeting races, and how does this compare to recent history?

Town wide there are 14 more people running than spaces available and 8 competitive precincts, which is in the range we've seen in recent years

Precinct 1 has five more people running than spaces available, by far the largest number in recent years

Precinct 2 does not have enough people running to fill their spaces, this is the only time this has happened in recent years

Precinct 3 has two extra people running, which makes this an average year

Precinct 4 has two extra people running, which makes this an average year

Precinct 5 does not have a competitive race for the second time in recent years

Precinct 6 has the most competitive race in recent years, with two more people running than spaces available

Precinct 7 has two extra people running, which makes this an average year

Precinct 8 has a strange situation this year.

The 3 year term has one extra person running, but the 1 year term does not have anyone running. I'm showing this as a "+1" because it is competitive for those running for the 3 year term.

Precinct 9 has three extra people running for the various terms, making the most competitive election in recent years

Precinct 10 has one extra person running, which makes this an average year
