Acton town manager urges residents to attend Town Meeting, outlines registration and check-in steps

John Manjurati, Acton Town Manager, urged residents to attend the Town of Acton Town Meeting and laid out step‑by‑step logistics for participation.

"Town meeting is a legislative body for our community, and it's a venue where we make very important decisions about the future of our town," Manjurati said, stressing why attendance matters. He told listeners they must be registered before attending and that registration information is available on the town website or in person at the town clerk's office.

Manjurati offered transportation options for residents who need them: "Schedule a free ride by calling Crossout Connect, or take the shuttle." On arrival, he advised attendees to "park anywhere on the campus, and head straight to the cafeteria to check‑in." Check‑in requires providing an address and last name; Manjurati added that some attendees "may need to check‑in by precinct," but that helpers will be on hand to guide people.

After checking in at the cafeteria, attendees should "head to the auditorium and show your voter registration card to get your clicker," Manjurati said. He noted that once inside the auditorium, participants may sit anywhere.

Manjurati closed by reiterating the invitation for residents to participate in the Town Meeting, emphasizing that the meeting is where the town’s most important local decisions are made.
