Public Notice | Litchfield Face Mask Mandate to Remain in Effect

Public Notice
Face Mask Mandate to Remain in Effect
Released by Litchfield Board of Selectmen – April 16, 2021

Although Governor Sununu’s statewide face mask mandate expires today, the town’s face mask mandate remains in effect. Private businesses, organizations and cities and towns retain authority to require customers and residents to wear face masks. The safety and protection of town employees and residents remains a top priority for the Board of Selectmen at a time when community transmission of the COVID-19 virus is still very active. The Board of Selectmen will conduct an emergency meeting on Monday, April 19, 2021 at 7:00 pm to discuss keeping the town’s face mask mandate in place until at least May 3, 2021 to allow time to fully vaccinate most town employees. The Selectmen want to reopen town facilities but, at the same time, keep its employees and their family members protected and safe. Please remember the best way to protect yourself and your community is to wear a face mask, practice social distancing and avoid large gatherings.

Public Notice | Results of Preprocessed Absentee Ballots

Folks,

On Saturday October 31, 2020 a group of election officials gathered at the Litchfield Town hall and preprocessed the absentee ballots received by the Town Clerk on or before October 30th. Normally the town receives approximately 300 to 400 absentee ballots but in this election, we had received as of the 30 of October approximately 1300 absentee ballots. We commenced the examination at 9AM and worked until 3PM to complete the review required by state election laws. No marked ballots were inspected nor will they be; only the associated paperwork such as an executed, signed affidavit, the voter’s registration status and if the associated paperwork matched.

The inspection of the 1300 ballots found 7 ballots that were rejected due to:

4 ballots did not have the affidavit signed;
2 ballots were placed into another voter’s envelope by the voter so that the affidavit did not match the application or mailing envelope label;
1 ballot was placed into the mailing envelope and did not include any affidavit;

All of the voters whose ballots were rejected have been contacted by phone and provided with information that will allow them to vote in this election. If you have submitted an absentee ballot that was received at town hall by October 30 and you didn’t hear from me at the phone number you listed on your application, your submitted information was inspected, processed and the ballot will be cast on November 3rd.

If you have any questions please contact me at fbyron@litchfieldnh.gov
