Freetown Town Government
How your elected boards vote, straight from their official minutes.
2026–2027 Board · from April 13, 2026See how the Board of Selectmen votesEvery vote by every Selectman, who showed up to each meeting, and the votes where they disagreed, straight from the board’s official minutes.
3 members · 14 meetings · 128 recorded votes · latest Aug 3See the board votes →What does the Board of Selectmen 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 Board of Selectmen, votes the town budget and town bylaws.

Under the state Open Meeting Law, boards post notice at least 48 hours ahead, not counting weekends and legal holidays.

The newest stories that name Freetown’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. Board of Selectmen votes come from the Freetown Board of Selectmen’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.
