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)

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.

The survey is available here as well as on the websites of the Network for Social Justice and other community supporters, and paper versions are available at select locations, as well. The online version is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and Mandarin.
