The polls are open from noon to 9 p.m. today for the Hudson City School District election. The polling place for Hudson is the John L. Edwards Primary School, at State and Carroll streets, just behind the Hudson Area Library.

Four candidates are running for three vacant seats on the Board of Education: Derrick Smart, Art Cincotti, Maria McLaughlin, and David Kisselburgh. For information about the candidates, see the article in today's Register-Star: "Four vie for three Hudson BOE seats."
