Southington schedules July workshop to review registrar contract and workload
Summary
Board confirmed a registrar workshop for July 13 at 5 p.m. to review registrar duties, early‑voting implications and a draft contract after registrars raised concerns about being excluded from prior discussions.
The Southington Board of Finance agreed to schedule a workshop with local registrars to examine registrar duties, office hours and an updated contract or policy.
Elaine Bard, a registrar who addressed the board, said registrars had not been part of prior discussions about a draft document that surfaced in board packets. Board members suggested a workshop date the week of July 13 and settled on July 13 at 5:00 p.m., with the municipal center as the expected location.
The workshop will aim to clarify responsibilities, pay and any special timeline issues related to early voting. Board members said inviting registrars and working in a workshop format would allow thorough review before making changes to the registrar budget or schedule.
What’s next: staff will notice the workshop and provide registrars’ materials for review ahead of the July 13 session.
