I would like to express my appreciation to the schools that host our polling places, especially to the
custodians who make sure the schools are ready for when the public works crew arrive to set-up the
polling locations as well as when the elected officials go in to set-up. Also, thanks to the public.
works crew that assist in setting up and tearing down the polls, the parks and recreation crew who
assist in setting up flags and directional signs, to the Nashua Transit Authority who again offered
free rides to the polls and to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for their support of the City Clerk's
Office. A very special thanks to all our elected and appointed election officials, whose dedication
and support of the election process, makes sure our voting process runs smoothly.
Sincerely,
