Charter Revision Commission
The Board of Selectmen established the Charter Revision Commission on February 2, 2026 and appointed Commissioners on March 2, 2026. The Board of Selectmen has charged the Commission to consider:
a. Whether to amend the authorities reserved to the Town Meeting and Annual Budget Meeting as set forth in Chapter 7 of the Town Charter; and
b. Whether to amend Chapter 3 of the Town Charter (Board of Selectmen) to provide that votes cast for an unsuccessful candidate for First Selectman shall not be counted as votes for such candidate as a Selectman member of the Board; and
c. Such other changes, improvements, or corrections in other current provisions of the Charter as the Charter Revision Commission finds to be warranted.
The RTC believes this commission was formed:
a. without proper representation from RTC members; and
b. in order to avoid any minority rule in future elections; and
c. to completely eliminate public participation from our town government decision making.
The RTC formally requests RTC members be added to the commission to ensure ALL citizens of Guilford continue to have a voice in the town political arena.
Please attend the Charter Revision Commission Public Hearing and tell them how you feel about them trying to silence the voices of Guilford citizens!
