Voters casting ballots on three separate referendums in Windham

Voters are casting ballots on three separate town referendums in Windham in the Nov. 3 election and each one carries significance for residents if passed. The first referendum modifies the Windham Town Charter to curtail the annual town meeting held every June on a Saturday where the municipal budget is discussed and voted on by residents. It instead changes municipal budget approval to a public vote held on Maine Primary Day on the second Tuesday in June. This would coincide with the annual RSU 14 school budget voting.
