As is traditional in small, New England towns, Woodbury has a Board of Selectmen and a town meeting form of government. A three-member Board of Selectmen is elected every two years, one full-time First Selectman and two part-time selectmen.
The town meeting is the legislative body of the town with certain exceptions as provided by the Woodbury charter, which was first adopted in 1975. Two regular town meetings are held each year, on the the third Monday in May, and the third Monday in November.
Special town meetings may be held as needed when called by the Board of Selectmen or petitioned by residents.
The annual budget, as prepared by the Board of Finance, is approved at the May town meeting. Other actions needing town meeting approval include acceptance of streeets as public roads or their discontinuance, the sale or purchase of certain property and financial matters beyond the Board of Finance's power.
