Town Showcase & Town Meeting

Past event
Mar 6, 2023, 6 PM

TOWN SHOWCASE - 6:00 pm in The Lounge (use the entrance doors of The Double E Performance Center)
Attend Town Meeting early and visit with the Essex Police Department, Essex Free Library, Public Works, Energy Committee, Planning Commission, and more! Town representatives will be on hand to answer questions, talk about services, and hand out some freebies, including popcorn.

TOWN MEETING - 7:30 pm in the T-Rex Theater
The town meeting will kick off with a performance from the Essex High School Chamber Choir led by Alexis Koch and the meeting will be moderated by John Sonnick. Voice voting from the floor will take place on Articles I and II. There will be presentations on the remaining ballot articles and an opportunity to speak and ask questions. Town meetings are open to the public and a direct way to participate in local governance. This is a great opportunity to bring along your high school or middle school-aged family members to learn about civic responsibilities in setting a budget and approving policies and plans for the next year in their town! Town Meeting TV will be livestreaming the event for those who would like to watch from home. This is an online opportunity to view only - participation (speaking and voting) in the meeting must be in person.

VOTING – 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at Essex Middle School
Voting by Australian ballot will take place on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at the Essex Middle School, 60 Founders Road, in Essex.

The Town of Essex will not be mailing ballots to active, registered voters for the 2023 Town Meeting election unless a voter asks to receive an early ballot by mail. You may either request an absentee/early voting ballot (postage will be included), or you may vote in person. You may request your ballot online at https://mvp.vermont.gov/, or by contacting the Town Clerk by calling 879-0413, option 6 or emailing clerk@essex.org.

A secure ballot box is available at the Town Offices for returning ballots after hours or on weekends up until the morning of March 7.
