Many New England towns still use the "town meeting" form of government, where residents gather to discuss and vote on local issues, budgets, and policies directly. This grassroots approach emphasizes direct democracy and community participation, allowing citizens to have a say in their governance. Additionally, some towns employ a selectboard or board of selectmen to manage day-to-day operations and implement decisions made during town meetings. This system reflects the region's historical commitment to local governance and civic engagement.
