Two council seats open in 2017 Milton election
Milton is soliciting candidates for its upcoming town election in March 2017.
Two council seats, now held by Vice Mayor Esthelda “Stell” Parker-Selby and Councilman Emory West, are up for grabs in the Saturday, March 4, election. West said he has filed to keep his seat; Parker-Selby said she will not run for re-election.
“I'm running to keep continuing the work we've been doing – working for the people,” West said. West, a Milton native, has been a council member for six years, he said.
Milton's council seats carry a three-year term. Anyone interested in running must file by 5 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 3. For more information on how to file, go to milton.delaware.gov, call 302-684-4110 or stop by Town Hall at 115 Federal St.
Eligible residents can register to vote from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, through Thursday, Feb. 2, at Milton Town Hall. Town Hall will also open for voter registration from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday, Jan. 21, and Saturday, Jan. 28. Absentee ballots will be accepted until the polls close at 6 p.m., Saturday, March 4, only if an affidavit is submitted to Town Hall by noon Friday, March 3.
