Even though the June 13 election is months away, those with an interest in serving on municipal elected boards in Arundel, Kennebunk and Kennebunkport can soon take out nomination papers, the official first step for prospective candidates in the lead up to the election.
March 6 is the first day nomination papers will be available, said town clerks in all three municipalities. To be on the ballot, candidates must secure the signatures of not less than 25 and not more than 100 signatures of registered voters in their town by the deadline.

In Arundel, the completed nomination papers must be in the town clerk’s office by close of business on Thursday, April 13, because the municipal building is closed on Fridays.
