At Monday's (still virtual) Council meeting we were challenged by local Girl Scouts to "promise to vote" (see picture!). It is a good reminder for us all, and tomorrow, Friday 10/30, is the last day to early vote at Town Hall (8:30 am to 12:30 pm). If you have an absentee ballot, you can continue to drop it off at the secure ballot box located in front of Town Hall up until Tuesday at 8 pm. It is best not to mail absentee ballots at this late date to ensure your vote is counted!

In-person (and highly sanitized, distanced) voting will take place on Tuesday, November 3rd at Galvin Middle School from 7 am to 8 pm. To make things go more quickly, you can confirm your voter status and precinct # here before you go. Our election workers are ready to greet you!

Fall Town Meeting begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 7th at the Wakefield Memorial High School Field House. We are taking many precautions including socially-distanced seating, indoor and outdoor options and lots of sanitizing. Participants will be asked to wear a mask at all times, unless physically unable to, in which case there will be a special seating area.

Do you care about a new high school? families of fallen soldiers? downtown zoning? the environment? lake development? Then you need to be there on November 7th to deliberate and vote on the 11 Articles. Town Meeting participation is arguably the most important and direct influence you can have over Wakefield's future. Please join us!
