Vermont’s towns are run by community minded folks who step up and serve in local government positions – from town clerks and select board members to Library Trustees, Listers, Constables and more.

This is the time of year that residents can take out a petition to get on the ballot for Town Meeting Day elections. Below is the list of offices for the towns of Andover, Athens, Cavendish, Chester, Grafton, Londonderry, Weston and Windham.  Jan. 30 is the date to get on the ballot for towns that elect officers by Australian ballot.

The legislature is currently considering whether to extend some of the flexibility in conducting annual municipal meetings that was available in 2021 and 2022 due to the Covid pandemic so there could be changes in the way some local meetings will be held. Stay tuned.
