Vitale will recommend a reduction in poll locations from three to two

Town Clerk Carla Vitale said she will recommend to the Town Council that the number of poll locations be reduced from three to two for town elections.

Vitale said she will be making her recommendation to the Council at its first meeting in August.

Currently, there are three polling places in the town: Winthrop High School, Winthrop Middle School, and 9 Golden Drive.

“My recommendation will be that we go down to two polling places,” said Vitale. “I haven’t decided what the two locations will be. That’s what my budget was set for and I’m going to stay within my budget. It’s a money-saving decision.”
