Unfortunately, there are specific rules that govern an Open Town Meeting like Lincoln that do not allow for matters that are decided at Town Meeting to be replaced by a traditional ballot vote. Given that the March 2024 meeting will cover two "Hot Topic" Issues, the bonding for the Community

As far as I understand it, only measures that involve funding end up on a paper ballot. Even the school had to pass town meeting before it could be sent to a paper ballot. But I could be wrong, and I personally would love if town meeting could by a hybrid meeting for debate, followed by a formal
