There are many taxpayers who are not in Moultonborough when the town meeting is held. I am always in Florida during March so I do not have s vote. The outcome of article's that are up for a vote could be very different if all taxpayers could vote absentee.

The only way, legally, in NH, for absentee ballots to vote on ALL warrant articles, is by becoming an SB-2 town. It allows for all warrant articles to be voted on, in secrecy, including absentee ballots. The Gym/Center cannot/could not be put on the ballot under the present form of Annual Town Meeting, nor any other issue, not required to do so, by statute.
The "Australian ballot," used for the MoBo Tuesday vote, can only be used by statutory requirements; e.g., elections of officials, land-use articles, like zoning etc.
