West Tisbury voters will weigh in on an initiative to promote private affordable housing in town at their fall special town meeting next week, along with deciding on a series of minor funding articles.

Voters passed all 12 articles at special town meeting Tuesday in under 30 minutes.

Oak Bluffs will hold a special town meeting on Nov. 7 at the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School Performing Arts Center. Attendees will cast their votes on 12 articles regarding town maintenance projects, affordable housing land designations and formatting changes to town bylaws.

The bill would close what the lawmakers called a loophole in the state’s campaign finance law. The state currently requires the disclosure of funds that people use to support or oppose ballot questions and sets spending caps for all state elections except town meetings.

Oak Bluffs residents will have a chance to cast their votes on a number of town spending decisions next month when a 12-article special town meeting commences on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School Performing Arts Center. 

Voters in Aquinnah and West Tisbury will both gather for special town meetings next week to decide on a series of school and funding questions.
