Marion and Mattapoisett voters head to the polls within the week for annual town elections.

Here’s a look at what’s on the ballots.

In Marion, two candidates are seeking the select board seat vacated by John Waterman. Voters will select between Carleton “Toby’’ Burr and Edward Hoffer for the three-year position. Read their profiles here.

The only other contested race is for two seats on the Planning Board. Four candidates are in the running for three-year seats: Tucker Burr, Andrew Daniel, William Dale Jones and Barrett Levenson. Read their profiles here.

They are seeking posts currently held by Joe Rocha and William Saltonstall, who are not running for re-election.

The remaining candidates on the ballot are running unopposed, all for three-year terms. They are: Catherine Gibbs, assessor; Brad Gordon, moderator; Edward Hoffer, Board of Health; Nichole Daniel, Marion School Committee; April Nye, Old Rochester Regional High School; John Rockwell, Open Space Acquisition Commission.

Several races have no candidates and will rely on voters providing write-in names. These include Marion School Committee, one-year term; Open Space Acquisition Commission, one position for a three-year term and one for a one-year term.

A ballot question asks voters whether the cost of new Department of Public Works buildings should be funded outside the tax limitations of Proposition 2 ½. This question will come into play only if voters at the May 9 Town Meeting approve the project.

The project cannot move forward without approval of this question.

Polls are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, May 13 at Cushing Community Center, 465 Mill St.

In Mattapoisett, two candidates are seeking the select board seat. Incumbent Jordan Collyer, who has held the seat for the past 18 years, and newcomer Donald LaMarr. Read their candidate profiles here.

The other contested race on the ballot is for two seats on the Board of Trustees for the Public Library. Barbara Gasper has opted not to return to the board, but incumbent Michael Rosa is throwing his hat back in the ring. William Coquillette and Donald Fleming have entered the race to vie for the open seats.
