About the
Wrentham Voter Guide
Local elections, those elections that matter most in their direct effects on our day-to-day lives, give voters a voice in determining which local officials’ decisions affect our schools, roads, public safety, and local businesses. Your votes in local elections and annual and special town meetings let your voice be heard.
​The Wrentham Voter Guide (WVG) is designed to help you, as a voter, to feel more confident when voting in our town election and in planning to attend our Annual and Fall Town Meetings (June and November, respectively). As with your voting in local elections, your attendance at town meetings puts you, the voter, in the driver’s seat. ​​Please reach out to wrenthamvoterguide@gmail.com if you have questions.
