MECHANIC FALLS Town councilors deadlocked three times Thursday night on votes to fill a vacancy on the panel. The 2-2 tie votes means the motions failed to pass.
Norma Crabtree, Raymond Lavoie and Christopher Strout applied for the seat held by John Emery who resigned in April and passed away soon after.
State requirements did not allow the vacancy to be filled at the June 8 municipal election.
The Town Charter requires the council to appoint an interim member until the next municipal election.
