2013 Wellesley Town Elections Today

Wellesley's Town Elections are slated for March 5, 2013. Which your calendar will tell you is today. 

None of the elected officials' seats are contested, but some Town Meeting Members races in a few precincts are running opposed. In precincts A, E and F, however, there are open spaces on the ballot, so these precincts can write-in names of candidates.

To help you exercise your right to vote, here is the information you are going to need when you head out to the polls. 

Where Do I Go? 

When you head to the polls, make note of your location. The locations are below. If you are not sure which precinct you belong in, see the Secretary of the Commonwealth's website for more information.

If you're not certain which precinct you fall under, check the Where Do I Vote? page.

When you arrive at your polling place, you will receive your ballot, and any instructions on how to fill it out. You will need to check in and check out with the poll workers.
