Town Hall Meeting Feedback

Public meetings measured: heard fairly, answered honestly, and worth attending again.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Town halls either build civic trust or perform it. This feedback measures which: speaking access fairness, whether officials answered or deflected, meeting management that let all voices in, and the returning question that predicts whether engagement grows or hollows.

Offer the survey to people who attended and said nothing, not just to those who spoke. The silent majority of a public meeting is where the fairness signal lives, and a form handed only to the people at the microphone will report that access was excellent.

The felt-heard score across demographics is the equity check: meetings dominated by the practiced leave the rest silent and cynical. The unanswered-question field is the most actionable thing the survey collects – publishing written answers to the questions the meeting did not reach costs an hour and repairs more trust than the meeting itself generated, while leaving them unanswered confirms exactly the suspicion that keeps people from coming back.
