Select Board approves placing Justices of the Peace on state‑mailed general election ballot
Summary
The board voted unanimously to authorize placement of newly approved Justices of the Peace on the back of the general election ballot mailed by the state after Beth Grant said the state now requires local approval before JPs are added to ballots.
Member Beth Grant told the board that the state now requires local approval of Justices of the Peace before they are added to ballots and moved that the JPs be placed on the back of the general election ballot that will be mailed by the state. Christie Boswell seconded the motion and the Select Board approved it unanimously.
The board did not record further debate or identify specific candidates for the position during the special meeting. The action documents the Select Board's formal consent required for the state to include local Justices of the Peace on the upcoming general election mailing.
