In anticipation of the Wrentham Town Election to be held on Monday, April 7, Wrentham Engagement is once again hosting two events to help Wrentham voters become better informed regarding the candidates on the ballot and the issues important to voting.

Candidates Forum

On Wednesday, March 12, Wrentham Engagement will conduct its second Candidates Forum beginning at 7 p.m. This will be held in the King Philip Regional High School auditorium. Candidates will be asked to answer questions related to current events and decisions that shape Wrentham’s governance and future. A Wrentham Engagement facilitator will ask questions submitted by the public. Last year, 14 of the 17 candidates on the April ballot appeared on stage to participate.

Voters are asked to submit questions through this form: https://bit.ly/CandidatesForumQs

Those unable to attend in person can watch the Candidates Forum live on Cable 8 and the Forum will be recorded. Cable 8 will also air the Candidate Profile recordings beginning on March 10 and running through election day.

Candidates on the Common

On Saturday, March 22, Wrentham Engagement will conduct its fourth Candidates on the Common event beginning at 11 a.m. This is a less formal setting where candidates will be introduced and then dispersed on the Town Common to participate in one-on-one or small group discussions with voters. This event also includes other activities such as the opportunity to purchase Girl Scout cookies and a voter engagement bingo game. In case of inclement weather, an alternate location will be announced. The event typically runs for about an hour.

Wrentham Voter Guide

In addition to these two events, Wrentham Engagement also produces a Voter Guide. The Guide provides background information provided by each candidate that synopsizes who the candidates are, why they are running, and what their priorities are. Residents can access the Voter Guide at www.wrenthamvoterguide.com. Candidate profiles will be available by March 8.     

Annual Town Election

On Monday, April 7, polls open at 7 a.m. at the Delaney Auditorium at Wrentham Elementary School on Taunton Street for the Annual Town Election. Polls close at 8 p.m. More information about the election, including voter registration, is available on the Town website (bit.ly/ATE2025) and the Voter Guide.

Wrentham Engagement is a local, grass-roots effort to encourage greater awareness and engagement in the events and decisions that shape our town’s governance and future. Wrentham Engagement is coordinating these events as an independent group of engaged voters and is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by the Town of Wrentham.
