Dartmouth Town Government

How your elected boards vote, straight from their official minutes.

2026–2027 Board · from April 13, 2026See how the Select Board votesEvery vote by every Select Board member, who showed up to each meeting, and the votes where they disagreed, straight from the board’s official minutes.

5 members · 6 meetings · 81 recorded votes · latest Jun 15See the board votes →

What does the Select Board do? It is the town’s executive board. It prepares the Town Meeting warrant (the list of articles voters decide), appoints members of many town boards, hires the town’s top staff, signs warrants to pay town bills, and grants licenses and permits. Town Meeting, not the Select Board, votes the town budget and town bylaws.

The newest stories that name Dartmouth’s board members or legislators in the headline or opening, from free news outlets (see the list). Headlines appear as each outlet published them; MassVoter does not write, choose or rate them. Each person’s page lists more.

Disclosure: MassVoter’s founder, Michael Silvia, is the publisher of Fall River Reporter and New Bedford Guide.

Ballot quizzes use only the candidates’ own words and the official Information for Voters guide. Select Board votes come from the Dartmouth Select Board’s official minutes; State House votes from the Massachusetts Legislature’s roll calls. MassVoter never grades officials or endorses anyone; votes and attendance are shown exactly as the minutes record them. Member photos: Dartmouth Week candidate profiles.
