Opposition
The election in Manchester featured 14 of the 15 seats on the board up for general election on November 3, 2015. The last seat, held by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas at the time of the election, was elected separately on the ballot. A primary election was held on September 15, 2015, to narrow down the number of candidates to two per seat in each race for the general election. Wards 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 12 held primary elections.
In the Ward 6 race, incumbent Dan Bergeron defeated challenger Larraine Lencki for the seat. Fellow challenger Bill Hughen lost in the primary election.
Nine board members faced competition in their re-election bids, while another three ran unopposed and won re-election to their seats. The elections in wards 4 and 5 did not feature any incumbents. Neither Ward 4 member Amy L. Bradley nor Ward 5 member Ted Rokas filed for re-election.
Several rematches from the 2013 election took place, including Ward 2 member Debra G. Langton and challenger Sarah L. Browning, Bergeron and Hughen, and Ward 12 member Constance Van Houten and challenger Christine Duffley. The Ward 12 race also featured former board member Roger Beauchamp.
