Let's Rock the Vote! Local Elections are on March 29



Attention Fort River Families! 

Make your voice heard! Use the many resources available to inform yourself about important upcoming contested races in our local elections and a ballot initiative regarding our town government structure.

In addition to the contested school committee and town meeting votes, there is also a very important Yes/No question at the bottom of the ballot about whether to elect a charter commission to review our current town government structure. Don't miss this question!

If the charter question passes, then 9 out of 19 candidates in the hotly contested charter commission race will be elected. All 19 candidates answered a questionnaire about their positions; their responses are posted in their own words on www.amherstforall.org

The League of Women Voters provides excellent resources to our community residents in preparation for elections.
