Table of Contents

Candidate profiles for both the town wide and Town Meeting member races are now live in the Winchester News/League of Women Voters of Winchester 2026 Election Guide.

While the deadline for submission was Feb. 24, if a candidate has not turned in their profile and/or headshot, they may still be submitted for publication at any time leading up to Election Day, which is March 21, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Winchester High School.

Readers should occasionally check the guide for updated information on candidates and the election.

Write-in candidates are encouraged to have their paperwork certified by the town clerk prior to submitting their profile information to Winchester News and the League of Women Voters of Winchester for publication. But write-in candidate submissions are welcome.

Readers can click on a candidate’s name (if a profile was submitted) to read their biographical information and positions on key issues facing Winchester.

This information has been made available in advance of the League of Women Voters Winchester candidate forums to be held at the Jenks Center, Cummings Room, on Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. for the Planning Board and March 5 at 6:15 p.m. for School Committee and Select Board.
