Voting?
Register by April 25th
Will
you be voting in the upcoming Annual Town Meeting and Annual Town
Election? Are you registered to vote? Are you sure?
Town
Clerk Beverly J. Litchfield urges all residents to check their voter
registration before April 25th
to be sure it is all set.
Even
if you have been registered to vote for years, many Federal and State
laws impact your registration status. If you have moved, changed your
name, or your local street list form was not received at town hall,
you may encounter an issue at the polls.
When
you registered to vote, you should have received a confirmation
notice from the Registrars. If not, your registration may not have
reached their office. If your local street list (census) form was not
received by town hall and you received a postage paid postcard, fill
it out and send it back right away so your information can be
updated.
If
there is an issue with your voting status, in some cases, you will
have to fill out an affidavit and show identification at the polls.
In other cases, you may be offered a Provisional Ballot that will
only be cast if your registration eligibility is verified.
Call
the Town Clerk’s office (596-2800, ext. 200) if you have any
questions. Office hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
City
and Town Clerks want all eligible citizens to be able to cast their
ballot. Act now. Don’t wait. Check your voter registration
status!
