Definition of town meeting in English English dictionary

government of a town by an assembly of the qualified voters a meeting of the inhabitants of a town

A legislative assembly of inhabitants of a town. a meeting at which the people who live in a town discuss subjects or problems that affect their town. Legislative assembly of a U.S. town in which all or some voters are empowered to conduct the community's affairs. Town meetings first took place in New England in the colonial era and are still largely a New England phenomenon, partly because the region's towns tend to hold powers that are granted to counties elsewhere. The meetings are normally held annually. Executive authority is usually held by a three-or five-member board. Open town meetings, which are widely regarded as an exceptionally pure form of democracy, allow all registered voters to vote on articles listed on the agenda, or warrant; representative town meetings allow only elected members to vote

meeting of residents of a town; legislative assembly held to pass town by-laws and regulations; informal meeting in which a political candidate meets voters and addresses their concerns
