Preliminary Town Election results

April 29, 2026

On Tuesday, April 28, slightly over 12% of registered Acton voters went to the polls (or mailed in their ballots ahead of time, or dropped ballots by the end of voting day) to elect several new Town officers, as well as re-electing some incumbents.

Note that these are preliminary results. Based on prior year’s outcomes, the number of votes for any candidate might change by a few votes, but probably not enough to change the overall results.
