Which Town Meeting Seats Are Open?
Voters will be asked to vote for ten candidates to serve as Town Meeting members for 3-year terms in each precinct. Voters can choose to vote for candidates listed on the ballot, and they can also choose to write in candidates in one or more of the ten write-in spaces. However, voters cannot vote for more than ten! The top ten vote getters will fill these seats for the 3-year term.

Other open seats exist for 2-year and 1-year terms in most precincts due to vacancies. Even if your name is not on the ballot, you can still run for Town Meeting by running a write-in campaign. 

The following lists how many candidates will be listed on the ballot in each precinct for the three possible Town Meeting terms:

How Do I Run a Write-In Campaign?
All you need to do to run a write-in campaign is to ask as many registered Milford voters as possible to literally write in your name and address on the town election ballot when they vote. Follow these tips to ensure the best possible outcome:

• Ask registered voters who live in Milford to vote for you by writing in your name and street address. Focus on folks you know who are likely to vote. If you are running for a seat on Town Meeting, you need to ask only registered voters in your precinct.
  
• IMPORTANT!!! The Town Clerk requests that you do NOT give voters stickers to put on their ballots because the stickers jam the vote counting machines. Ask voters to write in your name.
• Be sure the voters know the correct spelling of your name and your street address.
• Explain to voters that to vote for you, all they need to do is write in your name and street address in the appropriate space for the position you are running for AND to fill in the oval at the end of the line. If the oval is not filled in, the vote does not count! Voters must use the marker provided in the voting booth to fill in the oval. See the sample illustration.
• Tell voters to bring a ballpoint pen to use to write in your name and address because the write-in space is too small for the marker provided in the ballot box.
• To make this as easy as possible, give your voters a small slip of paper or a business card with your name and address typed on it. Be sure to tell them NOT to leave this at the polls. Simply suggest that they put the paper in their pocket or purse when they are done voting. It is OK to bring this into the ballot box; it is not OK to leave it there.
• Remember to vote for yourself!
• Before the election date, please call the Town Clerk’s office at (508) 634-2307 OR send an email to the Town Clerk at townclerksoffice@townofmilford.com to let them know you are running a write-in campaign. This will help the staff count the write-in votes more easily.

How Can I Learn More About the Positions on the Ballot?
Citizens for Milford is pleased to announce a pre-election project that we recently completed in partnership with the Town Clerk’s office and Milford TV, a special edition of The Milford Informer titled “Get Ready to Run: Town Election 2025.”  

Included in this special feature is a series of interviews with representatives of every committee, board, or position that will be on the ballot this April. Milford TV News Director Tim Caouette leads the program in an interview with Town Clerk Amy Neves and Assistant Town Clerk Danielle Petrowski discussing what a resident needs to know to run for Town office. Their interview is followed by interviews with 12 other elected officials explaining what one does as a member of the Select Board, School Committee, Planning Board, Board of Assessors, as a Constable, as a Town Meeting Member…and all the other offices that will be on the April 2025 ballot. The interviews provide residents interested in becoming more involved in the community information about the elected positions and most importantly, educate voters when they prepare to vote in the April election.

This two-hour program is available to watch BELOW, as well as on Milford TV’s YouTube channel here. 

You can also watch each of the interviews separately. Find all the interviews as separate videos  in the Citizens for Milford playlist on Milford TV’s YouTube channel here.

Important Note: The Water Commission is not included in this feature because we were not able to secure an interview with any of the commissioners. Because we did not want to omit this board from the series, we created a short interview between two members of Citizens for Milford discussing the responsibilities of a Water Commissioner based on information researched on the state website. You can watch that particular interview as a separate video here.
