The select board race is the lone contested seat at the annual town election election, which will be held on May 15 at town hall from noon to 8 p.m. Nomination papers were due March 27.
Several other positions have no one running for them, including town moderator, two seats on the planning board, an associate position on the planning board and two library trustee positions.
Though the deadline to submit nomination papers has passed, town clerk Kayla Darcy said people can run a write-in campaign for any of the positions.
The League of Women Voters of Martha’s Vineyard plans to hold a candidate forum on April 21 at 6 p.m. at Aquinnah town hall.
