The Town of Charlestown Board of Supervisors of Elections has cancelled the March 4th, 2025 Election, as the two election seats currently held by Commissioners Richard Mahan and Robert Rinehart are unopposed. No Candidates applied to run for these seats by the January 31st deadline, declaring Commissioners Richard Mahan and Robert Rinehart the winners of the 2025 election.

The funds raised at the 2025 Ice Splash event will be raised in entirety for children and youth programs in Cecil County. Where this event was solely for Cecil County Special Olympics for over 15 years, the Ice Splash committee decided several years ago that it would be a great idea to share these donations amongst other youth organizations within Cecil Couny.
