Thirty people are running for office in the May 15 election, making this year’s campaign season one of the most active in recent memory.

Ten candidates returned their nomination papers to the town clerk’s office with the required number of signatures by Monday; the board of registrars is now in the process of certifying them. Those seeking one of the two three-year terms on the select board are incumbent Donna Pursel, Jason McCann, Moraiba J. Reyes, David Gibbons, Kathleen Barclay, Jerry Taverna, and Philip Bellone. Current member Domenico Sestito is not seeking re-election.

The two-year term on the board, created by the resignation of Jennifer Constable, has three candidates running: Steven M. Greenberg, James M. Ianiri, and Brian McCarthy.

A total of 19 positions will be on the May 15 ballot.

On the Hull Redevelopment Authority, Patrick Finn and Daniel Kernan are running for the five-year term now held by Henry Dunn, who resigned this week because he is planning to bid on the authority’s parking lot contract. Edwin Parsons and Adrienne Paquin are running for the three-year seat now held by Max Walder, who is not seeking to retain his position.

School Committee Chair Stephanie Peters is not running; her colleague, Ernest Minelli IV, faces Colby Mahoney and Fay Ferency for one of the two available three-year seats. The other contested race is on the board of library trustees, as Emily R. Garr and Sasha Green are competing for one two-year term. Celia G. Nolan and Duncan Stone are unopposed for the two three-year terms on the board, as is J. Curtis Miller, who is seeking the one-year term as a library trustee.

Also unopposed are planning board incumbent Harry Hibbard and Nancy Boyce (five-year terms), as well as Jim Pitrolo (two-year term); Jim Richman, for a five-year term on the Hull Housing Authority; assessors Pamela Sinton-Coffman and Mario Peter Grieco (three-year terms), and the three-year terms of light commissioners Patrick Cannon and Jake Vaillancourt.
