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. The plan is to prioritize the counting of auxiliary ballots from the West Side before moving on to the East Side, ensuring that results are reported promptly. The clerk noted the importance of efficiency, saying, "we wanna make sure we get the numbers in right away so we're not all there forever."

As the town prepares for the election, residents can feel assured that their local officials are committed to a smooth and transparent voting process. The meeting concluded with a reminder for everyone involved to be ready for the important day ahead, highlighting the community's collective effort in facilitating a successful election.
