Summary

Candidate Anthony Zarrella told registrars he moved in June, obtained an occupancy permit, updated his RMV record (which updated his voter registration) and filed nomination papers in July with an affidavit explaining the move.

Anthony Zarrella, a candidate for City Councilor at Large, gave a detailed timeline in response to an objection to his nomination papers. He said he "took out nomination papers in February while residing at 33 Saint Paul Street and moved to 380 Wanoosnoc Road in June." He added that after receiving an occupancy permit in June he updated his address with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, which updated his voter registration, and then filed his nomination papers in July with an affidavit explaining the move.

Zarrella also told the board he would not object if the City Clerk chose to recuse herself and emphasized that his candidacy depended on the validity of his signatures rather than on the address shown on papers. The registrars reviewed his statements and records and later voted to deny the objection.
