Questions & Answers

Why are we voting by Australian Ballot?
At a duly warned Selectboard meeting, held on Jan. 17th, 2022 it was decided that voting this year for Town Meeting will be conducted by Australian Ballot, therefore all registered Montgomery voters may cast an official ballot in person to vote on Budget Articles and Elected Offices in town.

Authority given by the State Legislature per Act S.172, allows for Towns to make a temporary switch to Australian voting for 2022.

Will informational meetings be held?
The Selectboard will hold two public informational hearings via Zoom:

• Saturday, Feb. 26 at 10:00am
• Monday, Feb. 28 at 6:00pm
