CT & Town Officials
Town Meeting is a form of democracy practiced for over 300 years in Connecticut. The qualified voters of a town meet to make decisions concerning expenditures, schools, and many other topics. To be qualified to vote on financial questions, a person must be a United States citizen, a registered voter or a Wilton property owner of at least $1000 in value. Each qualified voter has the right to speak to the issue at hand at the Town Meeting and to cast a vote on the issue. The Selectmen carry out the instructions of the Town Meeting.
The annual Town Meeting is held on the first Tuesday in May. The purpose of this meeting is to approve or reject the final draft of the Town budget. The meeting has the power to decrease or delete any appropriation or item in an appropriation, but it may not increase nor add any appropriation not recommended by the Board of Finance.
Voters have the opportunity to say:
- the budget is too high
- the budget is too low
- the budget is approved as is
If less than 15% of registered voters vote, the budget passes as is.
