Town Caucus Option

The Town Caucus will take place March 11. Nominations for the elected positions will be made and seconded from the floor of the Town Caucus, so plan now to attend if you'd like to run for a position.

Nomination Papers Option

If you aren't nominated at Town Caucus, you still have the opportunity to get your name on the ballot. Visit the Office of the Town Clerk and pick up nomination papers. You'll need to collect a specified number of valid signature (aim for a few more than required to compensate for invalid or duplicate signatures).

The papers must be filed with the Registrar of Voters by March 25.
