Town Meeting Deliberative Session
Address
10:00 am until adjourned.
As an SB2 Town, we hold (2) Public Meetings annually where the registered voters of Atkinson have the opportunity to have a voice in their local government.
A Town Warrant is prepared by the Board of Selectmen which is posted 10-days in advance of the 1st Town Meeting - called the Deliberative Session. The Deliberative Session is an important public meeting led by the Town Moderator where the registered voters in attendance make motions and amendments to finalize the Warrant Articles and the Budget that will end up on the upcoming Town Election Ballot.
Atkinson citizen's can also petition for a Warrant Article to be included on the ballot. Visit Citizen's Petition Warrant Article for more information.
Articles that are ultimately amended (or not) at Deliberative Session will appear on the official ballot for popular vote at the Town Election on Tuesday, March 12th, 2024. Second session voting will take place at the Atkinson Community Center, 4 Main St. Polls will be open 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for a final vote on all town and school officers and warrant articles.
Citizen's can also add Articles to the Town Warrant to be included in the Town Election. Information about the Citizen's Petition process can be found here.
