Selectboard votes to move Marshfield Town Meeting to Australian ballot on March 1 pending S.172
Summary
The Marshfield Selectboard voted to switch its Town Meeting to an Australian ballot for March 1, contingent on the governor signing S.172, and approved voter postcards and tabulator programming to support the change.
Selectboard member Richard Baker moved that Marshfield's Town Meeting be conducted by Australian ballot on March 1, "pending signature of the Governor on S.172," a motion Chair Christopher Martin seconded and the board approved unanimously. The board recorded the action as contingent on the governor's approval of S.172.
The Selectboard also approved sending postcards to notify voters of the change, with a return postcard residents may use to request an absentee ballot, and voted to use the tabulator if that remains the Selectboard's decision. The board approved an expense to program the tabulator for Town Meeting; the minutes record the approval but do not specify the dollar amount. Town Clerk Bobbi Brimblecombe prepared the minutes and attested to the record.
