In Plymouth, due to latest federal census figures, the town now has 18 precincts up from 15.
This changes precinct locations for some residents. The Town Clerk says the information concerning those changes isn’t available from the state yet, but soon will be.
Bobbi Clark has more:
“Everyone will be voting at their new precinct in May of 2022, so it’s important to know where your new location will be,” said Town Clerk Pearl Sears. “Letters will only go out to those that are affected by the changes. We’re hoping the end of February, possibly early March.”
Sears says the town is going to have an exciting election on May 21st.
“All of our Town Meeting members will be on the ballot,” said Sears. We’re also going to have two openings for Select Board, two for School Committee, one for Planning, one Moderator, and one for Housing on the ballot. We’ll also have three questions that will be coming up.”
The ballot questions concern choices about various forms of government, a year in advance of the duly-elected Charter Commission’s ballot question that will be on the ballot in May of 2023.
The Town Clerk says nomination papers are available now.
“Everybody that wants to take out papers can do so now,” said Sears. “The deadline for take out and return is going to be April 1st.”
