The League of Women Voters of Westford has just released its annual Voters’ Guide to give residents more information about the candidates running for local office. All candidates – including those who are running unopposed – have been asked to answer questions about their background, their reasons for running, and their priorities if elected. Candidates are running for positions on the Board of Health, Housing Authority, Library Trustees, Moderator, Planning Board, School Committee, and Select Board.
The Voters’ Guide can be accessed from this link: tinyurl.com/votersguide2026
In conjunction with the Voters’ Guide, the League is hosting a Candidates’ Night on Wednesday, April 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the Millennium Building, 23 Depot Street, behind the Abbot School.
Candidates’ Night is residents’ best chance to hear directly from those running for local office. Residents will be able to submit questions that evening in person or via the online form here: tinyurl.com/candidates2026. Questions are received anonymously. The question-submission webpage provides additional information about the process, as well as details about the candidates.
Jo-Ann Berry of the Acton Area League will moderate the evening. WestfordCAT will be on hand to air the event live and to record it, and will post the recording on its cable channel and on YouTube shortly thereafter.
Election Day is Tuesday, May 5. For more information, go to the town’s Voter Information page: westfordma.gov/403.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, issues-oriented organization – open to all – that encourages informed and active participation in government. The League does not support or oppose any candidate or political party. For more information, go to lwv.westford.org.
