Dalton Elections See High Turn Out; Select Board Incumbent Wins

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — More than 800 residents cast their votes during Monday's town elections, resulting in Select Board incumbent Robert Bishop retaining his seat.
 
"I feel like it was it was a high turnout. We had a lot of mail-in ballots … I think the one contested Select Board race definitely brought people out," Town Clerk Heather Hunt said. 
 
"I think we saw a lot of voters that we haven't seen in a very long time, and I think a lot of them came out specifically to vote for the Select Board." 
 
The town sent out approximately 823 mail-in ballots and received back more than half, Hunt said. 
 
Bishop has served on the Select Board for three terms, and the voters agreed they want him for a fourth three-year term. 
 
In a previous interview with iBerkshires, Bishop emphasized the need for collaboration, obtaining project funding, and keeping taxes down while supporting town departments and employees.  
 
Robert Collins challenged Bishop for the seat, running a campaign focused on the need for a new voice on the board and more discussion.
