TOWN MEETING

The town meeting form of government dates back to colonial days.  It is often referred to as the most participatory form of democracy.  The town meeting serves as the town's legislative body thus making each citizen a potential legislator.   At any town meeting other than a meeting for the election of town officers the following citizens may vote:

1. Any person who has been admitted as an elector in the town.

2. Any citizen of the age of eighteen or more, who jointly or severally, is liable to the town for taxes assessed against him on an assessment of not less than $1,000 on the last completed grand list of the town or who would be so liable if not entitled to an exemption under State Statutes, unless restricted by a special act relating to the town.

At meetings where an election of town officers is to take place, only electors may vote.  Town meeting authority is set by State Statutes and Town Charter.
