Weston has traditionally used the Town Caucus, allowed under M.G.L. Chapter 53, Sections 117-121, to nominate candidates for elected town office. Town Caucus is normally held the first or second Monday in March. A description of the duties and responsibilities of each elective office is available below. It will be held this year on Monday March 9, 2026, in the Sears Auditorium of Town Hall.

Caucus Process

At the Caucus, prospective candidates for the various town elective offices are nominated to be placed on the ballot for the Annual Town Election, held in May each year. The two candidates for each open position who receives the largest number of votes at the caucus are designated “Caucus Nominees” on the Town Election ballot. Each caucus nominee must receive a minimum of 8 percent of the votes cast that evening.f
