representative town meeting
A representative town meeting is a form of municipal legislature particularly common in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Representative Town Meetings function largely the same as an Open Town Meeting, except that not all registered voters can participate or vote. The townspeople instead elect town meeting members by precinct to represent them and to vote on the issues for them, much like a U.S. Representative votes on behalf of his or her constituents in Congress.
==Connecticut==
Representative town meetings (RTMs) vary from town to town, and can vary widely in terms of rules and bylaws. The town of Westport, Connecticut has non-partisan RTMs, where while a member may belong to a party, it may not be advertised as such, and the First Selectman may veto any legislation passed excepting for appropriations.〔http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientID=14484&stateID=7&statename=Connecticut〕 Wethersfield, Connecticut, however, requires "minority representation" so that no one party can control the RTM.〔http://wethersfieldct.com/government/code-regulations/minority-representation〕 Groton, Connecticut specifically allows for a valid meeting to take place with no less than half the body present, that the meeting must be open to the public, and that senior town officials such as the town clerk or Superintendent of Schools have all the same rights as members except for voting or raising motions.〔http://www.town.groton.ct.us/town_gov/EntireCharterRevised.pdf〕 Other, often larger municipalities such as New Haven, Connecticut have done away with town meetings entirely.〔http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Aldermen/index.asp〕
