Editing Jamaica, Vermont (section)

==Government==

Like all Vermont towns, Jamaica has an annual [[town meeting]] on the first Tuesday of March each year.  At Town Meeting, residents of the town deliberate and vote on an annual budget, elect municipal officials, and vote on public questions. Jamaica is one of the few towns where all business is still conducted "from the floor"—i.e. through parliamentary procedure, as even candidates for elected office are nominated from the floor.

The five-person Board of [[Selectmen]] is responsible for the general supervision of the town, with executive and legislative responsibilities.  The Town Clerk is the custodian of town records (namely land records).
