Re: Canvas of Returns of November 2, 2021 Municipal General Election
Request for Recount of Votes Cast for Ward 1 Alderman Race

To the Honorabie Board of Aldermen:

In accordance with Charter Section 23, attached please find the Record of the Returns for the Municipal
General Election held November 2, 2021. A total of 14,200 voters turned out on Election Day. The names
of 49,159 Nashua residents appeared on the checklists at the polls’ opening; another 415 residents
registered to vote at the polls on Election Day. Thus, voter turnout was 28.6%.

Please be advised the Office of the City Clerk has received a request from Jan Schmidt for a recount
of the votes cast in the race for Ward 1 Alderman. Under Section 26 of the City Charter, the Board of
Aldermen is required to conduct the recount at the meeting during which “the returns are to be
canvassed’ (that is, November 9") or at a meeting “specially held for that purpose within one week

thereafter...”

Accordingly, with the exception of the race for the office of Ward 1 Alderman, | would request that the
Board of Aldermen canvas the returns of the November 2, 2021 Municipal General Election at its
November 9, 2021 regular meeting and that a special Board of Aldermen meeting be scheduled for
Saturday, November 13, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. in the City Hall Auditorium for the purpose of conducting a
recount of the ballots cast for the Ward 1 Alderman race. Thereafter, the Board shall declare the results
of that recount, “which declaration shall be duly recorded by the city clerk and shall be final and

conclusive.”

In closing, | would like to express my gratitude to the schools that hosted our polling places, the public
works crew that assisted in setting up and tearing down, the City Clerk’s staff, and all of our election
officials. Their continued dedication and commitment to our city assures that our elections run smoothly

for our citizens.

Sincerely,
a
