Election Day in Seekonk!

The polls at , the lone voting location, are open today from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for Seekonk's local 2012 election. The ballot includes several public office contests, but only two feature more candidates than there are available positions. There is also a tax proposal to fund a $2.5 million senior center.

The Board of Selectman race for two three-year seats includes five contestants—incumbent Dave Parker, former Selectman David Viera, Gary Sagar and Robert Blanchard (who are running as a team, although voters can choose one and not the other) and Nelson Almeida. Go  to read the answers to an Attleboro-Seekonk Patch questionnaire distributed to the candidates.

The School Committee race for two three-year seats features incumbent Mitch Vieira, Brian Freitas and write-in candidate Jeffrey Starr Mararian.

The ballot measure calls for a 20-year property tax to fund the construction of a $2.5 million senior center on vacant property next to Town Hall. The annual tax would cost property owners approximately $8 per $100,000 of a land's value in the first year and decrease in subsequent years. More information about the measure can be found .

Attleboro Seekonk Patch will have election coverage throughout the day, including the announcement of results shortly after 8 p.m.
