LINCOLNVILLE — While disruptions are common this spring, municipalities are working hard to keep local government on track, and on schedule. In Lincolnville, as the town shapes its budget for 2020-2021, candidates hoping to serve on the select board, school committee and other municipal committees are returning their nomination papers to the town office.

“As of right now the deadline for return of nomination papers is 4:30 p.m., April 10,” said Lincolnville Town Administrator David Kinney. “At this moment I do not foresee this deadline being altered.”

He said: “We are still preparing like we will have elections in June but it is too early to tell so we are also beginning contingency planning for the possibility of a delay.  Stay tuned.”
