Brattleboro voters will consider on Town Meeting Day whether to replace the Select Board form of governnment with the mayoral form, in which voters also select a chief executive.

"After securing enough signatures, the petition was submitted and an article on the March 3 ballot reads: "Shall the voters of the town of Brattleboro advise the Select Board to amend the Brattleboro town charter to replace the Select Board with that of a mayoral form of governance?"
