PELHAM — Polls will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Pelham Library, 2 South Valley Road, to elect a new member to the Select Board, though no names will appear on the ballot.

Town Clerk Kathleen Martell said since no resident took out nomination forms, the election, at the Ramsdell Room, will feature entirely write-in ballots.

The special election was called by the board following the resignation of board member Alisa Pearson in September, who was in the midst of her second term after being elected last spring.

Person’s term runs through spring 2022.

The remaining members are Chairwoman Karen Willard-Ribeiro and Vice Chairman Robert Agoglia.
