Town Charter Question

Oxford’s official election notice asks voters whether to adopt the proposed 2026 charter revision approved under the state’s municipal charter law. Voters can choose yes or no.

As Patch previously reported, the proposal concerns how Oxford reviews its long-term capital plans, including replacing the annual capital-plan town meeting with a public hearing.
