Hopkinton Annual Town Meeting is an Open Town Meeting form of government which means that all Hopkinton registered voters have a direct voice and may vote on all warrant articles. You must be present in person during the meeting to vote. Warrant articles may create new or update existing bylaws or zoning. Annual Town Meeting also sets the budget for the upcoming fiscal year by determining the town's operating budget, as well as larger capital purchases and projects. Both operating and capital budgets have an impact on the services the town provides, which impacts property taxes.
