Charter Revision on November Ballot

I want to alert residents that there will be two important local questions on the November 8, 2022 ballot regarding changes to the Madison Town Charter. Our municipal charter is the basic document that defines the organization, powers, functions and essential procedures of Madison’s Town government.  Both questions are the result of an 18 months long public process spearheaded by a volunteer Charter Review Commission charged with updating our Town Charter, which currently dates back to 2006.  The two questions will be listed as Question #2 and Question #3 on the November ballot. 

  • Question #2 asks if the term for members of the Board of Selectmen, including the First Selectman, should be extended to 4 years from 2 years.
  • Question #3 asks if the Town should adopt all other proposed changes as recommended by the Charter Review Commission.

For more information on the proposed changes, please visit www.madisonct.org/CharterReview  for an explanatory text outlining some of the more substantive proposed changes and a redline version of the existing Charter highlighting all proposed changes.  Printed copies are available in the Town Clerk’s office at the Madison Town Campus, at the Senior Center, and at the Scranton Library. Please be an informed voter by learning more about these important questions which will have a direct impact on how our Town government operates for the future. 

Absentee Ballot Applications Available 

The Town Clerk would like to remind residents that the 2022 State Elections are scheduled for Tuesday, November 8th and that Absentee Ballots are now available. You can obtain an Absentee Ballot Application in the Town Clerk’s office or from the website. The Town Clerk’s drop box is open to receive applications. More information on the election, absentee ballots and voting locations is available at www.madisonct.org/vote

View sample ballot, including all three ballot questions.

Affordable Housing Committee – Volunteers Needed

The Board of Selectmen is seeking volunteers for its recently established Affordable Housing Committee. This committee will assist the Town in implementing Madison’s recently adopted Affordable Housing Plan and work with municipal staff, commissions, and stakeholders on housing initiatives.

Madison Climate Change Event

This Saturday starting at 4 p.m., MAD for Trees has organized a non-partisan Madison Climate Change Event that talks about the science of climate change and why there are reasons for both hope and concern.
