Nominate a slate of Justices of the Peace to appear on the ballot. This is the Waitsfield Democratic Party Committee. You must be registered to vote in Waitsfield. If you are a member of the Republican Party you need to be nominated by your party. Independents need a signed petition. Check with the Town Clerk regarding the petition.

Created by the Vermont Constitution in 1777, the office of justice of the peace is one of Vermont's oldest public offices.

Duties include participating as a Board of Civil Authority member by serving as an election official and assisting on election days, hearing and deciding tax appeals, and serving as a member of the Board of Abatement.

For more information about the duties of this elected office please review the Justice of the Peace Guide on the VT Secretary of State webpage https://outside.vermont.gov/dept/sos/Elections%20Division/town%20clerks%20and%20local%20elec[...]pdf

Please contact me if you are interested in running for this office but cannot attend the meeting. This is a hybrid meeting. Please contact me if you plan to attend via Zoom and I will send you a Zoom link.
