Write-in candidate opportunities in the March 18 Town Election!

Several races will have fewer candidates than open positions on the March 18th Town Ballot:


Planning Board (3-year term)

Housing Authority (5-year term)

Town Meeting Member:

 -  Precinct 2 (3-year term)

 -  Precinct 4 (3-year term)

 -  Precinct 6 (1-year term)


These are opportunities to get more involved -- particularly if you have any relevant background or experience, even as a volunteer.

You do need to be a registered voter.


If you are interested in running a "write-in campaign" for any of these positions, please contact the Town Clerk's office at townclerk@winchester.us or (781)721-7130 so that they are aware of your candidacy.
