Historically, all proposed changes in local governance are required to be official election day ballot questions to permit all properly registered local voters the opportunity to respond with their vote. For 25 years this was so for the adoption of SB2 (1995-to-2019) until it was purposefully singled out for removal from the official ballot to a traditional warrant article, which disenfranchised the vast majority of properly registered local voters the opportunity to respond with their vote. It is important to restore the manner of adopting SB2 to its original and correct place on the official election day ballot to permit all properly registered local voters the opportunity to respond with their vote. The traditional town meeting form of governance does not serve the people well when their venue cannot support even 20% of their voting population. Stop disenfranchising the vast voting population, and allow them to vote on adopting SB2.
