Voter Registration Assistance

Are you a registered voter? Are you unsure? With a town meeting coming in June and a presidential election coming next fall, now is the time to make sure that you registered so that your voice can be heard. To help with that, our town clerk, Anna Lavarreda, will be set up at the Student Art Show and Family Reading Night. Anna will be able to confirm whether or not you have already registered and help register you if you're not. Be sure to stop by the table that night!
