The Representative Town Meeting (RTM) consists of not more than forty-five (45) members elected for two-year terms.

The Town Clerk shall determine the number of members and be approved by Town Council in accordance with the Groton Town Charter and with respect to the Connecticut State Statute Minority Representation clause under Sec. 9-167a(C). Each major political party nominates the number allowed to be elected under CGS. Provisions exist for the nomination of unaffiliated, minor party and petitioning candidates. The duties of the RTM include reviewing the actions of the Town Council and the power of initiative to institute legislation or force reconsideration of legislation already adopted.

The RTM has the power to approve or reject supplemental appropriations in excess of $10,000, all ordinances, all open spaces and roads not a part of an approved subdivision and all powers granted under the CGS to the Town Meeting where the objective of such statute cannot be otherwise accomplished by the Town pursuant to CGS, the Charter, or ordinance.
