Town councilor Deb Paul has had a number of resident asking about the town policy considering the weather perdition for Tuesday. The Town Moderator has provided the information below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question:
What is the towns voting day policy  if we are getting a nor’easter or a major storm? I can not imagine the town would want poll workers and residents to travel in bad weather.


RSA 659<\/a> addresses election postponement.  It states “The decision to postpone shall be made on the day immediately prior to the election at any time before 6:00 p.m.”  As required in the RSA I am meeting tomorrow, at noon, with representatives from the fire and police departments, public works, town clerk, chair of the town council, and town manager so we can jointly make a decision.  Following that meeting we will issue a statement for public dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also asked “How will you let voters know?”
Response Both the Town and school websites and social media, as well as  press outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is encouraging voters to go to town hall tomorrow town clerks office from \u00a08:30 – 5:00, and Absentee vote.

The Town Moderator<\/p>\n\n\n\n
