Hi, folks, the link here is the official warning (or notice) for the Special Town Meeting we are holding on August 13, 2024, including the open positions and articles, and a sample ballot:
Special Town Meeting Warning and Sample Ballot 2024-08-13
I anticipate a few questions, so here’s an attempt to answer them:
- There is no “meeting” per se with any floor votes because everything must be voted on by an “Australian ballot” which means a paper ballot. See the sample in the link above.
- The meeting (or actually the voting) location is the Halifax Elementary School LIBRARY this time.
- We will have an Informational Meeting with in person and remote options. Date and location is being finalized.
- This is being held at the same time as the State Primary election.
- Contact the Town Clerk about the voting process–getting registered, getting an absentee ballot, or the like.
Write-in campaigns for the open seats are a great way to get involved in our town’s service to our fellow citizens, and there’s at least one underway. Reach out with questions to the Town Clerk or Selectboard members.
