What this covers

  • Every Town Meeting the archive finds, 7 May 2011 to 17 November 2026: 31 held, 1 upcoming, 1 called with no later record, and 4 more whose votes the Clerk printed with no date (FY2012, FY2014) — 719 articles in all.
  • Results: 483 from the Town Clerk's printed record in the annual town reports FY2011-FY2025; 75 from our reading of the meeting video (may be unreliable), where we do not have the Clerk's record of the article; 161 whose result we have not found — each says why.
  • Nothing before 7 May 2011: the archive holds no annual town report before FY2011, so earlier votes are not here.

Where each result comes from

  • Town Clerk’s record (483): the Town Clerk's printed record in the annual town report — the official record.
  • Result not found (161): we have not found the result; each article says why.
  • From our reading of the meeting video (75): our reading of the meeting video, from a machine transcript — not an official record, and may be unreliable.

FY means the budget year the vote acts on. Fiscal years run 1 July to 30 June. An Annual Town Meeting votes the next year's budget, so the May 2026 meeting is FY2027; a Special Town Meeting amends the year it is held in, so the September 2026 meeting is FY2027. Every meeting keeps its date. Where an article names a fiscal year of its own, that is shown beside it.

Verbatim means found word for word in the cited page. 5 of the Clerk's quotes were not, and are shown as the extractor's reading. A result from our minutes is a motion as heard on the recording, never a quote.

One row per warrant article per meeting. A row is an ARTICLE, not a motion: an amendment voted on the floor is folded into the article it amended. Dollar amounts are as the warrant or the Clerk printed them; an amount is what was asked or voted, never what was spent.

Every row, as data: /data/town-meeting-votes.json. What the record cannot answer is on what we cannot answer.
