List of Polling Locations

The Newton League of Women Voters and NewTV have collaborated on making Candidates' Statements and the Candidates Debates available on the NewTV Cable channel. Here are the broadcast times.

Newton residents Miles Fidelman ( mfidelman@ntcorp.com) and Karla Hailer-Fidelman have set up a Newton Election Forum for discussion of the upcoming elections. Disclaimer: while the Newton Election Forum is part of Neighborhoods.Net, as is this site (The Newton Citizens Web Pages), the Forum is independently run, and has no relationship with this site.

Below is a list of all candidates for Alderman and School Committee member, organized by Ward. Where I have been able to find a web site for these candidates, I am providing it. In addition, I'm providing a link to their entry in the Newton Municipal Election Voters' Guide provided by the League of Women Voters.

If you know of a relevant web site not listed, please send me e-mail at bobbifox@newtoncitizens.com.
