HEATH — Following Friday’s town election that saw no contested races, a seat on the Mohawk Trail Regional School District School Committee remains available.

The Selectboard will appoint someone to the three-year School Committee seat, as there were no ballot candidates.

According to Town Coordinator Hilma Sumner, 82 ballots were cast out of 530 registered voters, making for a nearly 15.5% turnout.

The following candidates were elected to three-year terms: Selectboard, Robyn Provost-Carlson; Assessor Alice Wozniak; Finance Committee, Alice Wozniak and Wendy Walen; and Heath Free Public Library trustee Gale Hubley.

David Peterson won a three-year seat on the Municipal Light Board with a write-in campaign and Robert Dane won a five-year seat on the Planning Board.
