Citizen’s Petition

Voters may “insert” articles in the warrant before the Select Board “closes” the warrant. To insert an article in the warrant for the annual Town Meeting, at least 10 registered voters of the town must sign a written request. This is called a Citizen’s Petition. Please speak with the Town Clerk to obtain the appropriate petition form. If you’d like assistance or want to check the legality of a petition, please contact the Town Manager. The petition then gets submitted to the Town Clerk for certification of the signatures obtained. Learn about when petitions are due on the Election Calendar at the Town Clerk’s page.
