Marblehead, Massachusetts, is preparing for its annual town election on Tuesday, where voters will face critical decisions regarding funding for town services. They will have the option to approve one of three tiers of Proposition 2 1/2 overrides, which range from $9 million to $15 million over three years. If voters reject these overrides, the town will face significant budget cuts, as it has not passed a general operating budget override in over two decades. Alongside the override decisions, voters will also address how to fund new trash and recycling bins, and will participate in local races, including two open seats on the Select Board and positions on the School Committee. In-person voting will occur from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at various polling places, including Abbot Hall and Marblehead High School Field House.
