Will COVID-19 Affect Westwood Town Elections or Town Meeting?
Westwood Patch Mayor Heather T. Ford reached out to Town Clerk Dottie Powers with this question.
With town buildings being closed, schools being closed, and many Westwood-area meeting cancelled due to COVID-19, the question of whether any change would occur to Town Election (schedule for April 28, 2020) or Town Meeting (scheduled for May 2020) occurs. According to Westwood's Town Clerk Dottie Powers, "[the town is] waiting for the State to file legislation to postpone all municipal elections. There will be a [Select Board] meeting Monday to address this issue."
