Town decisions are made at weeknight meetings and buried in agendas, packets and notices few people have time to read. MyTownVote reads them every day and tells you in plain language what's coming up, who decides and when — with both sides and the sources — so you can weigh in on your own time, under a name you choose.
Make sure you're heard with MyTownVote — and make your town vote count.

Single parents. People working two jobs. Anyone caring for an aging parent. The residents with the most at stake are often the ones with the least time to track what their boards are doing. When decisions move forward without them, it's rarely because they didn't care — it's because they never heard about it in time.
Board agendas, meeting notices and Town Meeting warrants are checked every day, so a decision isn't missed because it was item 14 on a posted agenda or page 47 of a packet.
Every Monday, what is being decided that week. Star a topic and you hear when a hearing is set and when a vote is near — not after.
A plain-language summary and the strongest case for and against, each point linked to the town’s own documents.
Vote in the resident poll and join the discussion from your phone — at lunch, after bedtime, between shifts. Your voice counts even if you can't be in the room.
Found automatically in town agendas and notices, and checked by a person before they're posted. Anyone can browse the list.

They’re written with AI from the town’s own records, then a balance review checks the two cases against each other, and people review every topic before it’s published. Every point links to the document it quotes.

Especially for you. Read what is coming up on your phone in a few minutes, get a heads-up before votes on the topics you star, and weigh in whenever you have time.
