West Tisbury voters go to the polls next week to choose between two environmentally conscious, civic-minded, former college professors for selectman.

Michael Santoro, Walter Vail, and Brian Packish, all current or former businessmen with years of experience in town hall, are vying for two seats on the Oak Bluffs board of selectmen at next week's town election.

The League of Women Voters of Martha’s Vineyard is sponsoring a series of voter forums prior to local elections.

Ballots are shaping up in for spring town elections on the Vineyard, with contested selectmen’s races in West Tisbury and Oak Bluffs. Edgartown voters will see a two-way contest for the planning board.

Vineyard voters turned out in high numbers Tuesday, backing Democratic candidates up and down the ballot and electing Robert Ogden as the new county sheriff and Paulo DeOliveira as Register of Deeds.
