This Week in Lincolnville: Town Meeting
The New England Town Meeting. In my opinion, one of the purest forms of direct democracy, where the citizens vote themselves, not their elected representatives. The history dates back to Colonial times, when the Puritans decided to run their small communities the way parish churches were back in England, with a gathering of the people (land-owning men) to determine the direction of their community. This became the practice across New England,and continuing to survive to this day in small towns across the region.
