Oak Bluffs voters go to the polls on Thursday for special override election that will decide whether the cash-strapped town can afford to pave streets, hire a finance director, keep teaching aides at the town school and hire an animal control officer.

Voters will be asked to approve two Proposition 2 1/2 override questions, one to restore $230,000 in cuts to the highway department budget, and a second to restore $254,000 in cuts to a variety of other departments.

Polling hours are from noon to 7 p.m. at the Oak Bluffs Library.

Election results will appear in the Friday Gazette.
