Voting

The League of Women Voters works at all levels of government to support and inform voters and to promote voting and voting reforms that make our elections more free, fair and accessible. Voting is the bedrock of our democracy: a right long fought for, a right to be protected, and a responsibility to exercise at elections and at Town Meetings.

LWVUS VOTE411 Voters Guide

As a part of its nonpartisan voter services work, the national League has created a nation-wide web-based voters' guide, VOTE411. It provides basic voter registration and other important voting information, including by state/districts, and also gives voters access to self-reported information from candidates running for office each election cycle.

VOTE411 allows those running to post biographical information and answer a set of League-formulated questions, all in their own words. Candidates are given guidelines--strictly upheld--regarding length of responses and other issues in order to assure relevance and fairness and are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to introduce themselves and communicate their views to their potential constituents.

To view all VOTE411 election-related information and candidate responses to Voters' Guide questions as they become available in the run-up to elections, click here.

Explaining Weston Town Meetings, Your Voice/Your Vote

The Town Meeting is a form of direct, participatory democracy that has been at the foundation of New England decision making for more than 300 years. Weston, organized under a Town Charter, has a Board of Selectmen/Town Meeting form of government. (Weston's Town Charter is available at Town Hall or can be viewed under "Our Town" on this website's Home page.)

There are two kinds of town meetings: the Annual Town Budget Meeting (ATBM) and Special Town Meetings. Qualified voters deliberating at town meetings act as legislators deciding issues effecting the present and future character of Weston.
