Deliberative session is more like a legislative workshop done by voters at an open, public meeting, and the final vote is held one week later on Tuesday election day, 7am-7pm, by private, paper ballot. Typically, a NH town meeting starts at 7pm and the meeting gets to the actual show-of-hands vote at 11:22pm, on the first Tuesday night in March.

End result example: Gilford, a SB-2 town gets by with their older and medium-size police station, while Meredith, a town-meeting town has the largest, small town police station on the planet in world history. And, both Gilford and Meredith police departments have recently joined labor unions for labor-pay, bargaining representation verses their town selectboards.

Friendly suggestion: go get a job working for the town......you cannot beat them, so you might as well join them!
