Martha’s Vineyard followed the mood of the state and the country Tuesday when thousands of voters trekked to the polls to help re-elect President Barack Obama to a second term and cast ballots for Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren and incumbent Cong. William Keating.

At a special town meeting last fall, Oak Bluffs voters slashed more than $300,000 from an underfunded budget in light of the town’s financial woes. A year later officials say the town is on firmer financial footing. Next Tuesday’s special town meeting will focus more on capital investments, including funding for architectural studies for a new public safety building and renovations to town hall.

West Tisbury voters will be asked to pay for the final design phase of a new town police station at a special town meeting Tuesday.

Moderator F. Patrick Gregory will preside over the session which begins at 7 p.m. at the West Tisbury School. There are nine articles on the warrant.

Voters will be asked to approve a transfer of $80,000 from the overlay surplus fund to complete the final design and prepare construction documents for bidding for the police station project. The 5,200-square-foot facility will be located next to the town public safety building on State Road.
