The League of Women Voters of Wellesley's Meet the Candidates Night enables voters to learn about candidates for town-wide office and hear their positions on issues of importance to the town. The 2022 Meet the Candidates Night occurred on February 10 via Zoom. Scroll down to watch the video below. The League is a nonpartisan political organization which does not support or oppose candidates.  In sponsoring an unbiased candidate event, the League’s goal is to help voters make informed choices as they cast their votes in the Annual Town Election on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Viewers were invited to submit questions by mail and these questions were screened for lack of bias, relevance, and applicability to all candidates for each office

View a list of the 2022 town-wide candidates and Town Meeting Members and the attendance record of current Town Meeting Members (4 sessions of Annual Town Meeting in April and May 2021 and 3 sessions of Special Town Meeting in October 2021). Note that some Town Meeting Members resigned in May or were elected in October so only attended 4 or 3 sessions, respectively, and this is noted in the spreadsheet.

You can read more about the local candidates on your ballot by going to Vote411.org and entering your address.
