Select Board agrees to include justice of the peace candidates on state‑mailed general election ballots
Summary
The board approved placing justice of the peace candidates on the back of the state‑mailed general election ballot so the state covers election costs; member Leah disclosed she is a candidate. The motion passed unanimously.
Town Clerk Sarah Haskins told the board that the Secretary of State mails general election ballots to active voters and that placing justice of the peace candidates on the back of the state‑mailed ballot would remove any local printing cost. Richard moved to approve the printing and mailing option; Leah seconded and the board voted in favor by voice vote.
Haskins advised voters seeking absentee or early ballots to request them promptly and noted that an individual may not pick up another household member's ballot; she recommended calling or emailing the clerk's office if a mailed ballot is needed. Leah disclosed that she is a candidate for justice of the peace and the vice chair also disclosed; both said the conflict would not affect their vote.
