Unfortunately, unless you declare Moultonboro as your primary residence so you can vote here AND if you come to town in March and physically attend town meeting AND vote no to the town budget you really don't have much say.
SB2 would allow ALL eligible voters a ballot whether physically present or by absentee ballot to vote the second Tuesday in March. it was defeated here last year.
