Nantucket’s form of government is an Open Town Meeting with an elected five‐member Board of Selectmen and an appointed Town Manager. The 2010 census put the island population at 10,172. For the first time in many years, Nantucket’s ATM was held on a Saturday, the last day of March, starting at 8:30 AM. The idea was to promote participation from those who found it difficult to attend at night. There were 727 voters in attendance, the meeting went all day and all but 8 of the Articles were decided. The meeting was continued to the following Monday. Following is a synopsis of some of the Articles that generated the most discussion in our community: Nantucket Annual Town Meeting Highlights April 2012
