Waterford proposes $126,410 for Registrars of Voters, a 4.25% increase

The Town of Waterford's proposed 2026–27 general fund budget requests $126,410 for the Registrars of Voters, an increase of $5,155 (4.25%) from the prior-year figures shown in the document.

The budget excerpt lists detailed line items for department 10102. Notable entries include BOS‑approved Elected Officials pay at $70,192 (up $867, 1.25%); Voter Registration at $4,200 (no change); and Election Activities at $26,558, a $3,698 increase (16.18%). F.I.C.A. is shown at $7,723 (up $349, 4.73%). Together these items contribute to the department subtotal reflected in the table.

Operating and program accounts in the excerpt include postage at $2,400 (up $50, 2.13%); service contracts and repairs at $4,410 (a decrease of $630, -12.5% compared with the prior listed amount); dues, conferences and education at $2,570 (up $650, 33.85%); and reimbursable expenses at $1,240 (up $165, 15.35%). The supplies line shows $7,117, effectively unchanged in the table. The voting‑machine row in this excerpt is shown as zero across the columns.

The table header labels and a separate row identify that the Board of Selectmen reviewed or approved the amounts shown; the excerpt itself is a tabular budget document rather than minutes or spoken presentation. The excerpt is presented within the Town of Waterford General Fund 2026–27 proposed budget and shows the department subtotal and department total figures without reporting further discussion or formal vote outcomes in this excerpt.

The document groups costs under personnel, materials and supplies, equipment and services headings; the excerpt does not specify subsequent procedural steps or final adoption dates for the broader town budget.
