Sherborn Annual Town Election Results

The unofficial total voter turnout was 1285 votes out of 2911 registered voters.

Sherborn's Annual Town Elections were held Tuesday night. The unofficial total voter turnout was 1285 votes out of 2911 registered voters. Town Clerk Carole Marple said that the turnout was about the same voter turnout they had last year, which was at 47-percent.

The highest vote total in this year's election was for the selectmen's race, won by incumbent Paul DeRensis who defeated challenger Peter Liffiton.

Sherborn resident Glenn Kantorski said that he voted for board of selectmen chair Paul DeRensis this year because he is, “So experienced” and a family friend.

Another Sherborn resident Carla, who declined to give her last name, said she voted for Peter Liffiton because, “I just didn’t want DeRensis again.”
