The Town of Rutland is gearing up for a smooth election process, as officials prepare for tomorrow's voting activities. During the Selectboard meeting held on November 4, 2024, town clerk representatives expressed confidence in the readiness of their teams and the measures in place to ensure a secure and efficient election day.
The town clerk's office has coordinated a fully staffed operation, including police presence to address any unusual activities that may arise. This proactive approach aims to reassure residents that their voting experience will be safe and orderly. The clerk emphasized the importance of being prepared, stating, "I have a plan written out... everything's laid out on the counter," indicating that all necessary materials and teams are organized for quick action.
Key discussions also revolved around the handling of ballots.
