The presidential debates are carried out on the public airwaves for close to 1 year before the actual vote happens. By the time the voting day rolls around, every possible iteration of every detail and question has been hashed out endlessly, all that's left to do is pull the lever.

For local "town meeting" issues, the majority of the items haven't really been discussed until the evening of the vote, so it takes time. There is NEVER a good solution. Start earlier and the people who work can't make it. Do it on a weekend and people that go away or travel frequently can be left out, plus there are potential overtime and weekend availability issues for the town employees.
