Canton is a great town, but it needs many people to keep it running. Municipal elections are coming on November 3, 2015, presenting you with a wonderful opportunity to serve. Candidates are being sought by both Democrats and Republicans.

Offices to be filled are as follows:

SELECTMEN: Two to a 4 year term

BOARD OF FINANCE: Three to a 4 year term

BOARD OF EDUCATION: Four to a 4 year term

Reviewing the Canton web site  will give you a better understanding of the role of the various boards. From the main page go to Government and then Boards and Commissions. It would also be helpful for you to contact the people who are presently serving. One recent officeholder has said that serving, "not only gave me an incredible insight into the workings of the town, but also afforded me the opportunity to use my skill and have an impact on the future of Canton."
