The Annual Town Election will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, with polls open from 9 AM to 7 PM at the Orleans Senior Center, 150 Rock Harbor Road.
Voters will elect candidates to a variety of local offices, including Select Board, Library Trustees, and other boards and committees. In addition to the candidate races, the ballot includes Proposition 2½ override questions.
At Town Meeting, voters gave overwhelming support to all override requests. Now, under state law, these funding measures must also be approved at the ballot box in order to move forward.
Proposition 2½ limits the annual increase in a town’s property tax levy to 2.5% unless voters agree to override that limit. These ballot questions give voters the opportunity to authorize additional funding for priorities that were already supported by the community at Town Meeting.
