From the Seekonk Town Clerk’s Office

We hope you all had an enjoyable summer. It certainly went by quickly. Good luck to all the students, teachers, and administrators beginning the school year.

Thank you to all the voters who either mailed in their ballots, voted during early voting, or came in-person on election day. We would also like to thank our dedicated election workers for learning how to use the new poll pads so quickly during early voting. We hope by using the poll pads, the lines will move more quickly, not only during election time but for town meetings as well. We ask that you please be patient during this transition as we are all learning this together.

By the time you are reading this issue of the Seekonk Reporter, the State Primary Election will be over; therefore, the results will be published in the October issue. You can also visit the Town Clerk’s webpage to see the results sooner.
