Because the total number of votes received for the June 8, 2011 Charter question did not reach the minimum threshold required under Connecticut General Statute section 7-191(f), the outcome of the vote was not recognized and it therefore failed.  The Board of Selectmen have determined that the same question should again be placed on the November 8, 2011 ballot for consideration by the voters of Canton.  Therefore, the following question will be o the November 8, 2011 ballot: 

"SHALL SECTIONS 5.03 AND 6.01 OF THE CHARTER OF THE TOWN OF CANTON BE REVISED AS PROPOSED BY THE CANTON CHARTER REVISION COMMISSION AND AS APPROVED BY THE CANTON BOARD OF SELECTMAN?"
