Several Carroll County municipalities, including Hampstead, Manchester, Mount Airy, New Windsor, Sykesville, Taneytown and Westminster will all hold elections in May.

 

The Westminster election will take place on May 9, 2023 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.  Residents who live on the west side of Route 31, will vote at the Westminster Community Building at the Westminster Municipal Pool, 325 Royer Road.

 

Residents who live on the east side of Route 31, will vote at the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department, 28 John St., in Westminster.

 

According to an article written in the Carroll County Times on April 7, 2023 by Thomas Goodwin Smith, “Westminster’s five Common Council members vote on ordinances, bids, and zoning decisions, council member Tony Chiavacci said. Chiavacci’s seat is not up for election this year.

 

“The mayor holds an important position as city executive and as an influential person, he said, and the council benefits from having a good relationship with Mayor Mona Becker…

 

“Westminster has 13,134 active, inactive and pending voters according to Carroll County Board of Elections Director Katherine Berry. Chiavacci said just over 10% of registered voters typically turn out for Common Council elections.

 

“Being a member of the Westminster Common Council pays $2,400 per year, Chiavacci said, and the position is considered nonpartisan.

 

“‘We want the best people and don’t care what party they’re in,’ Chiavacci said.”

 

So far, several articles have been written about the upcoming election. The Carroll County Times published an article on February 17, 2023: “Seven Carroll County municipalities will hold elections for mayor and council in May,” https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/news/cc-upcoming-town-elections-20230217-qae7q2eaozc4demcztdprqextu-story.html

 

Another article was published by the Carroll County Times on April 7, 2023, “Westminster’s Common Council race will see at least four people chasing three open seats,” by Thomas Goodwin Smith Carroll County Times https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/news/cc-westminster-common-council-nominations-due-20230407-xwos6hbspvgqjhf3aoaoorjxia-story.html
