Milford Holds Special Town Election On 'The Pot Question'

MILFORD, MA—It's the marijuana ban ballot that several communities across Massachusetts have put out to the people since the state legalized recreational marijuana in the 2016 election.

Milford, on Tuesday, Sept. 19 of 2017, will hold a special town election to ask whether the town shall "prohibit the operation of Marijuana Retailers, as defined in G.L. c.94G § 1, within the Town of Milford."

General Laws Chapter 94G, Section 3, allows cities and towns in the Commonwealth to approve By-Laws or Ordinances prohibiting certain Marijuana establishments to operate. The question, if voted in the affirmative, would prohibit the establishment of Marijuana Retail Establishments in Milford.

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Precincts 1 and 6 vote at the Milford Senior Center, 60 North Bow St.

Precincts 2 and 3 vote at the Italian American Veterans Hall, 4 Hayward Field

Precincts 4, 5, 7 and 8 vote at the Milford Portuguese Club, 119 Prospect Heights

Here is the sample ballot.
