Natick will also include a budget question about a Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Override totaling $7 million "due to expenses exceeding revenues in recent years."

Town officials said of the proposal:

"A number of factors have led to a structural deficit in the Town's operating budget, including: increasing student needs/costs, inflationary costs, and expiring Covid-related funds. The Town is proposing a $7,000,000 operational override for the FY 2026 operating budget. To pass, the override will require a majority "yes" vote at the upcoming Annual Town Election on March 25th, 2025."

The annual election is set for March 25 with polls open at 7 a.m. through 8 p.m.
