The League of Women Voters of Wellesley's (LWVW)  Meet the Candidates Night enables voters to learn about candidates for town-wide office and hear their positions on issues of importance to Wellesley.

The event will be live-streamed and broadcast live on Comcast 9 /Verizon 39 and will be recorded for later on-demand viewing on Wellesley Media.  The video of  Meet the Candidates Night will be posted here shortly after the event.

The full list of the 2024 town-wide candidates and Town Meeting Members can be found here.  For more information about these candidates, please visit our Vote411.org platform after  February 15, 2024.

For the Town Meeting Member candidates, here is the attendance record of current Town Meeting Members  (7 sessions of Annual Town Meeting in March & April 2023 and 2 sessions of Special Town Meeting in November 2023). Note that some Town Meeting Members resigned in May, others were elected in October so some members could not have attended all sessions, and this is noted in the spreadsheet.
