Seekonk to Keep Early Voting

The Select Board voted Wednesday to keep early voting for town elections.

Town Clerk Kristen L’Heureux said the cost of printing mail-in ballots and paying for poll workers was approximately $1400. Over 300 residents voted early for the April town election.

“I think it’s a benefit to the people who cannot make it to town meeting,” said member Michael Healy. “It gives people the opportunity to come in here (to vote) Monday through Friday. For the cost, I think it’s well worth it.”

“The more opportunities we give people to vote, I’m definitely in favor,” said member Pam Pozzi.

L’Heureux said the deadline to register to vote for any resident who wants to participate in the Spring town meeting is May 3.
