These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.
In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting
became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities. In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated.
