Elections: Races, Candidates, and Ballot Measures
Voting is the fundamental act of self-governance we as Americans wield as citizens of our representative, constitutional, democratic republic. To cast their vote in good conscience, voters must be knowledgeable on the candidates and issues placed before them on the ballot. Campton Forward provides links to information on candidates for public office, and on propositions that will appear on Campton’s ballot.
