Berkshire County’s municipal election season is kicking into full swing this month.

Communities across the westernmost county in Massachusetts are holding local elections this spring. Here’s a partial look at the packed season: On Monday, voters in West Stockbridge, Windsor, New Marlborough and Lenox will to the polls. On Tuesday, Egremont, Great Barrington and Williamstown voters will cast ballots.

Lee and Sandisfield hold elections May 17th with Alford voting a day later. Richmond elections are May 19th. New Ashford and Otis hold their elections on May 25th, and Lanesborough votes June 15th.

The county’s largest communities – Pittsfield and North Adams – hold their municipal elections in the fall.
