            The Justices of the Peace are also part of the Board of Civil Authority.  To become a justice of the peace, you must be elected at a general election, or appointed to fill a vacancy by the Governor of Vermont.  These elected officials are actually county officers.

            A person must be a legal voter of the town and have been nominated by a political party caucus.  In order to be nominated by a party caucus, the party members in each town must meet at a duly warned meeting, on or before the first Tuesday in September in even-numbered years.

            The Town of Barre has 14 Justices of the Peace.  The duties of the justices fall into five categories of responsibilities:

·        Elections***

***Updating the voter checklist and hearing tax abatements and appeals is the duty of the Board of Civil Authority.  The Board of Civil Authority consists of the Justices of the Peace, the Town of Barre Selectboard and  the Town Clerk-Treasurer.
