Town Meeting Overview

The Town of Chatham has an Open Town Meeting form of government meaning that any registered voter may vote at Town Meeting.  Town Meeting is the legislative body of the Town. It convenes, at least annually at the time and place designated by the Select Board. Town Meeting considers and adopts an annual operating budget. It also considers and acts upon other matters which require Town Meeting action such as zoning changes, street acceptances, by-law additions and amendments. The business of each Town Meeting is contained in a document known as "the Warrant" which includes all matters on which the Town will act. The Warrant is mailed to all registered in advance of the Town Meeting. Articles are inserted in the Warrant by the Select Board and by Citizen Petition. The order of the articles is determined by the Select Board.
