Voters in Bethel will decide whether to extend selectmen terms from two years to four as part of eight proposed charter changes on the November 4 ballot. Republican First Selectman Dan Carter, seeking reelection against Democrat Thomas Borysiewicz, says the longer terms would bring more stability and allow officials to focus on long-term planning instead of constant campaigning. The proposed change wouldn’t take effect until 2027 if approved. Early voting runs through November 2.
