Run for Office 2025

Thank you for your interest in running for office and serving our community. This page will help you find information related to running for local office in 2025, including dates, deadlines, and helpful resources. Check back frequently as information will be posted to this page as it becomes available.

​

Any registered voter in Sudbury has the right to run for local office. Boards and committees do not choose who may run to join them. You can learn more about your right to run and the steps for running here and here.

 

You can find information about campaign finance here. In the program, Jason Tait of the Office of Campaign and Political Finance demystifies the campaign finance filing requirements and process and offers tips, tricks, and tools to make campaign finance filings easier.

​

There are 13 open positions including seats on the Select Board, Sudbury School Committee, Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Committee, Board of Assessors, Goodnow Library Trustees, Board of Health, Park and Recreation Commission, and Planning Board. Learn more here.

​

Each year, the LWV Sudbury includes a "save the date" for the Candidates' Forum recordings and the Meet the Candidates event in the nomination packet that prospective candidates receive from the Town or District Clerk when they "pull papers"; we also email a digital copy to each candidate. New this year, we are including a downloadable copy here for your convenience.
