The town of Bel Air's election is just around the corner on Nov. 8, and the town's 6,173 registered active voters will have five candidates to choose from for three seats on the board of commissioners.

Incumbents Terry Hanley, Eddie Hopkins and Rob Reier will be up against Brian Gregory Adolph and Susan Burdette.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at town hall, 39 N. Hickory Ave.

All applications for absentee ballots must be picked up in person.

Ballots must be received and stamped at the Town Hall, 39 N. Hickory Avenue, Bel Air, before the close of the polls on Election Day.
