Michelle Violette beat David Boudreau for a three-year term on the Regional School Unit 23 Board of Directors. Violette finished with 2,112 votes and Boudreau had 1,408.
Town Clerk Kim McLaughlin ran unopposed for a three-year term. She was first elected in November 2000.
Residents also approved a town charter amendment that outlines conflict of interest rules for town councilors and relatives who are town employees by a vote of 2,980 to 522.
