The more things change, the more they stay the same.

What stays the same?

All Amherst  town offices are up for election on November 2.

The League of Women Voters will have candidate forums for all contested elections and will publish an Election Guide.

The webinars will be broadcast live by Amherst Media. However, if you wish to be able to submit questions during the webinar, you must join using Zoom (look here for links). Questions may be submitted in advance by email to election2021@lwvamherst.org.

What About Uncontested Races?

The League of Women Voters cannot leave anyone out of the public eye when it comes to the town elections.  So…on Sunday, October 17, at 2:00 p.m. there will be a forum for all candidates who are running unopposed.  Councillors from Districts 1, 2 and 5 as well as the Library Trustees will be given time to speak and answer questions.  Get to know these candidates by watching through the link lwvamherst.org (no registration required) or through Amherst Media info@amherstmedia.org.  Check these sites for other opportunities to participate if the 17th doesn’t work for you.
