Town Clerks Index and Guide click here
As of June 26, 2006
Since there are new Town Clerks that join our association each year and since there are many towns that do not perform all functions on a regular basis; it was decided to provide members with a source document that could help individuals locate the laws on each item.
Each of the individual items in this index either refers you to the Massachusetts General Law which governs the issue, or to the Elections Manual that is provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. We highly recommend that you get a copy of the Elections Manual if that is not in your office at this time. You should also have a copy of M.G.L. available to you; if not in you office, at least in the Town Attorney’s Office.
Most of the items have just a brief one line description – others have a more detailed description. This is not meant to be an answer sheet – but is meant to be a referral, so that you will know where to find the details on the law that governs the issue or function.
