Clerk: most new voter registrations came from the DMV; some removals due to moves, death
Summary
The clerk told the election board that most new registrations were processed via the DMV, a few on election day, and several updates reflected address corrections or purges when residents moved or died. The board reviewed supporting documentation and retention questions.
The town clerk reported updates to the voter checklist, saying most new registrations arrived through the DMV while several entries were updates to addresses or transfers from other towns. "The new voter registrations, most were done via the DMV," the clerk said, noting a mix of DMV-submitted registrations, election-day sign-ups and online entries.
Board members reviewed particular cases: the Kearneys had moved to California and the postal service forwarded their absentee ballots, prompting follow-up; the clerk also said a death certificate had been received for one registrant (reported as May 7). Members discussed the challenge process for purging voters, confirmed that challenges are typically referred to the board (BCA) and asked the clerk to confirm retention rules for supporting documents.
