Board of Registrars schedules hand-count recount for East Longmeadow Town Council seat

The East Longmeadow Board of Registrars scheduled a hand-count recount of ballots for a Town Council seat on Monday, June 29, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. at the Council on Aging, 328 North Main St., the board recorded on June 17, 2026.

According to the meeting minutes, a recount petition submitted by Carolyn Ferros requests that all ballots from the June 2, 2026 Town Council election be hand counted. The minutes list Lisa Genest, Kristen Beturne, Jackie Sullivan and Cyndy Paradis as present; the record was signed by Jackie Sullivan, town clerk.

The minutes do not record a formal vote or the text of a motion; they state only that the board "set the date" for the recount. The minutes do not specify who moved or seconded the action or whether a vote tally was recorded. The recount is therefore scheduled but further procedural details were not provided in the minutes.

The board held the meeting at the Town Clerk's Office, 60 Center Square, East Longmeadow. The recount is due to take place at the Council on Aging, a location noted in the minutes as the place selected by the board. The minutes do not indicate whether the hand count will be open to the public or include observers, nor do they list any additional procedural safeguards or timelines for certifying results.

The town clerk submitted the minutes for the record. The Board of Registrars is expected to carry out the recount on the scheduled date unless the minutes are superseded by a later filing or court order.
