Article 43 on the 2024 Town Warrant is asking if the Town will authorize and request the Select Board to petition the General Court of the Commonwealth for Home Rule Legislation to allow any citizens in the Town of Lexington, who have reached the age of 16 or older, to register and vote in municipal elections within the Town, or to take any action in relative thereto. Would you support this article? Why or why not?

Yes. Allowing citizens age 16 or older to register and vote in municipal elections will foster and encourage civic engagement and involvement in our youth. For this reason, I fully support Article 43.
