Results of Westwood's Annual Town Election

At Westwood's Annual Town Election on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, where no race presented more candidates than the number of open seats available, incumbents running for re-election came out as the top vote getters above write-in candidates for their respective seats, as to be expected. The Planning Board welcomes one new member, Sean Weller, who fills one of two available seats on that committee.

Heather Morrison made a run as a write-in candidate for the open seat on School Committee. She secured 207 votes (11.7 percent of votes cast) to incumbent Maya Plotkin who received 1,416 votes (80 percent of votes cast). Only 8 additional write-in votes were for candidates other than Ms. Morrison.

The unofficial results of the election show a continuation of current town governing officials in their respective offices, with the addition of Mr. Weller to Westwood Planning Board:
