When I voted Tuesday I asked Town Clerk, Carol Mayer about our voting starting at 6AM when I had just heard on the radio that Massachusetts polls opened at 7AM – Carol said that the 6AM open is mandated in our town charter, and that we are one of only two towns in the state whose polls open at 6AM.
POSSIBLE CHARTER COMMISSION ISSUES
The polls opening time is another reason for us to do a charter study, that and looking at:
- when we hold municipal elections,
- when we hold our annual town meeting,
- the number of selectmen (5 instead of 3), and
- whether to appoint the town clerk, instead of electing the town clerk.
