Voters in South Hadley will receive two ballots for the November 8 election, one for the State Election, and another for a Special Town Election to fill a vacancy on the Selectboard following the death of member Sarah Etelman earlier this year. The person elected will serve the remainder of that term until the April Town Election, when a member will be elected to a full term.
