Two quick things; if it gets referred back | would ask that the Chair of that Committee, Alderman Caron call
a meeting as soon as possible and not necessarily if it's not for 2 or 3 weeks, wait that amount of time.
President Wilshire
The next meeting is April 1°.

Just a logistical question for Corporation Counsel on a 15 member Board if someone steps down and there
is s tie 7-7 as to who is going to fill the open position, who breaks the tie?
Attorney Bolton
Someone would have to get a majority so if it stays 7 to 7 you haven't elected anyone.

2. The current requirements for marking the checklist during an election require serious
concentration by the people checking in voters. This requires giving the staff breaks, especially
during busy elections.
A City Ward is different from a Town in New Hampshire, although both appear to be similarly
organized. The Ward Moderators, Clerks, and Selectmen only have responsibility to run the
polling places for elections. The City Clerk sets the policies and procedures so that all Wards are
doing it the same. This is important to protect the integrity of our elections. The Ward
Moderator is in charge of their polling location in their Ward on Election Day, but must follow
the lead of the City Clerk.
election, whether Municipal or State, is sworn in.
4, If the Mayor's Nominee is not confirmed, a new vacancy is declared, and the process will
be repeated until a Nominee is confirmed by the Board of Aldermen.
To put this in perspective, during last November's midterm election, we processed 442 ballots in
the first hour! And registered 35 new voters that same hour. And even with an extremely busy
election day last November, our turnout was just over 50%.
For both elections, we did this with the same nine (9) Ward election officials and two (2) Ward
Deputy Registrars. In November, our Ward needed additional staff, For the March special
election, we only needed that level of staff as we needed to fill all of roles required by State and
City law.
To: Board of Aldermen, Mayor Donchess,
My testimony is both to speak AGAINST both the current system for filling vacancies on
the Board of Alderman, Board of Education, Board of Public Works, and Fire
Commissioners and the replacement process proposed in Resolution R-18-073 Amended.
