SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q.  Do I have to attend the entire meeting?

A.  It would be great if every voter could attend the entire meeting but sometimes life gets in the way.  You may attend as much or as little of the meeting as you are able, the Town will benefit from whatever amount of time you can spare.

Q.  I don’t know anything about the issues, how can I vote on these matters?

A.  If you want to educate yourself in advance keep checking this webpage for further information, but even if you aren’t able to do that you can vote soundly just by listening to and considering the presentations of each article at Town Meeting.

Q.  I don’t like to speak in public, if I attend will I be required to speak?

A.  Absolutely not!  You are not required to speak at all, only if you want to.  And you can vote on each issue – or not – as you see fit.

DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE PARTICIPATE
