Much has changed in Edgartown in the past 50 years, but one thing has not: at every town meeting and election, a Searle was on hand, wearing a constable’s badge.

Polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Oak Bluffs and Edgartown and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in West Tisbury. There are few contested elections.

A new building project for the Tisbury School got a boost from voters Wednesday during the second and final night of the annual town meeting.

Oak Bluffs voters were inquisitive and sometimes cranky at their annual town meeting this year, questioning budget expenditures and criticizing some town departments.

Edgartown voters gave a green light to expanding the town historic district and spending for a wide range of town items — but stopped short of approving the town’s portion of $2.5 million to rebuild the refuse district transfer station.

West Tisbury voters dispensed with the business of town government in exactly three hours on Tuesday night, pecking at various spending proposals but ultimately approving every one in front of them by wide margins.
