About Town Meeting
Town Meeting is the official legislative body of Dedham and meets two times per year (Spring and Fall) to vote on articles prepared in the Warrant. A total of 273 Dedham residents are elected to be Town Meeting Representatives and cast their votes on each article presented in the Warrant, including operating and capital budgets. Please visit www.dedham-ma.gov/TownMeeting to learn more about this local form of government known as Representative Town Meeting, and be sure to watch our two introductory videos that help to explain the role of Town Meeting and the municipal budget process. Both are available on our website and on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@DedhamThrives.
