Town meeting back to Tuesday
BRADFORD—It looks like next year’s town meeting in Bradford will be on a Tuesday.
Earlier this year, residents were asked to consider alternatives to the traditional meeting date and time—the first Tuesday in March at 9 a.m. In an Australian ballot vote, held in conjunction with Vermont’s presidential primary, voters opted to hold the 2021 town meeting on the first Saturday in March.
But shortly after the vote, town officials learned that state law mandates that the deliberative be held on the first Tuesday in March or one of the preceding three days. In 2021, the first Saturday in March occurs only after the first Tuesday of the month, nullifying the 2020 town meeting day vote.
