Candidate Information
Frederick is a Statutory Town, which means that it follows state laws in its structure and operation. Six Trustees and one Mayor serve as elected officials to guide the Town through the “big picture” of establishing mission/vision/goals. The Mayor serves as the presiding officer for the Town Board meetings but does not carry any additional voting weight. The Mayor may be part of ceremonial events as the spokesperson for the Town.

Candidate Information
Most municipal candidates spend their own funds to campaign and/or may receive donations toward their campaign. There are specific rules and filing requirements regarding this. This information may be obtained at Town Hall and will be provided to you at the time you pick up a petition packet.
You may place campaign materials in any private property location where you have permission from the property owner. You may not place materials on public property or in the public right of way (for example, on utility poles). You also may not campaign at Town Hall or within 100 feet of the building.
