On Tuesday, June 22, Winchester will hold a special election to determine whether to go ahead with a development proposal for the Waterfield parking lot, located off Waterfield Road between the commuter rail station and Church Street (behind the block of stores that includes Anderson Group Realty, D'Agostino's, La Patisserie, and A Tavola). The proposal is the culmination of a decade-long process and was approved by a wide margin (118–46) by Town Meeting, but opponents are invoking a state law that permits holding a referendum to override a vote by Town Meeting.

Winchester will have a Town Election on Tuesday, March 30. On the ballot are the positions of

• Town Moderator
• Select Board
• Assessor
• Board of Health
• Planning Board
• School Committee
• Library Board of Trustees

In addition, voters will decide on a Ballot Question:
