Town Meeting Straw Poll
May 13, 2025 Annual Town Meeting
North Andover continues to be a laboratory for what Town Meeting may be like in the future. Once again we are testing whether deliberative results from Town Meeting represent the opinion of the citizenry at large. For the fifth time we will be conducting a straw poll inviting citizens to state their opinion on each article whether or not they attend Town Meeting. The straw poll, launched electronically via the town website, will be live through Town Meeting until its adjournment. Comparative results will be published post the adjournment of the meeting. The votes in this straw poll will not count but merely be an expression of opinion of the people who chose to make that opinion known. Completing this is not a substitute for attending Town Meeting as all deliberative benefits and power is in the room. You are invited to do both – express your opinion here AND come to Annual Town Meeting on May 13th at 6:30pm on the North Andover High School.

Article 21: Transfer to Capital Stabilization
The Town is requesting to transfer $50,000 into the Town’s Capital Stabilization Account. The Capital Stabilization account is the town’s savings account to purchase capital items. The purpose of this stabilization fund is to accumulate money in order to purchase larger capital items without relying on debt. To appropriate from the Town’s Stabilization account requires a majority vote of Town Meeting.
