Running for an elected position in 2019? How to submit your candidacy announcement.

Political candidacy announcements on the Milton Scene:

As a courtesy to public servants, the Milton Scene accepts political candidacy announcements for local elections. No independently-posted candidacy announcements are permitted on the Milton Neighbors Facebook group (they will be deleted, as well as back-handed endorsements, per our rules).

View open offices.

Announcements must be submitted via the Milton Scene. Each announcement will be shared on Milton Neighbors via automation. You may not choose your candidacy announcement date unless you have purchased advertising.

The annual Town Election will be held on Tuesday, April 30, 2019.

For 2019, candidacy announcements are due to the Milton Scene by April 12, 2019.

Candidacy announcements received after the due date will not be posted on the Milton Scene or Milton Neighbors.
