Attend Town Meeting and become an active participant in Norwell’s legislative body deciding on town business and financial matters.

Town Meeting is the legislative body of the Town of Norwell. Norwell has an “open” town meeting, which means that all registered voters are entitled to attend. As a result, without even having to campaign for elected office, all registered voters automatically become municipal legislators. Town Meeting decides matters related to local governance that are placed on the Town Meeting Warrant (Agenda). Most significantly, it approves the local rules by which we govern ourselves (in the form of by-laws), and it appropriates money to fund Norwell’s government.
