Wakefield’s town charter states that “all legislative powers of the Town shall be exercised by an open Town Meeting." These meetings are typically held twice a year, the Annual Town Meeting in the spring and the Regular Town Meeting in the fall. Over the last few years, the meetings have alternated between weekday evenings and Saturday mornings.
The Wakefield Town Council has called the Regular Town Meeting for Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. in the auditorium at the Galvin Middle School, 525 Main Street. The Town Council will receive all petitions which are addressed to them in writing, and which request the submission of a particular subject matter to the Regular Town Meeting, and which are filed by:
1. Any elected Town officer including a member of the multiple member body;
2. Any appointed multiple member body acting by a majority of its Members;
3. Any ten (10) voters for a Regular or Annual Town Meeting;
4. Any one hundred (100) voters for a Special Town Meeting; and
5. Any other person, persons or Town agency as may be authorized by By-law.
All petitions received at the Town Administrator’s office in any of the above ways on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, October 3, 2025, will be included in the meeting.
