Re: [LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?
So then what is the point of a paper ballot? From my experience at prior town meetings, our votes were counted by voice or standing up.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?
[Adding the Selects directly to see if they would consider] Why not? The articles as presented in the Warrant are actually not the vote. Article 1 (correct clerical error) and Article 3 (Oriole Landing) are 'To see if the Town will vote...' whereas Article 2 (CC) and Article 4 (HCA) are 'To hear a report from...' and 'To see if the Town will vote to hear a report from...' The vote today for both of these items is not actually an 'official' vote in that we're not discussing budgetary items or making a zoning change. Both of these articles are reports. The "vote" is structured as a sense of what the Town wants to do. In that case, it's really just a complicated way to get feedback from the town (and not binding) and if I'm reading that correctly, that wouldn't follow under the same voting rules as a typical Town Meeting since the vote is NOT the article in question. Given that, it also seems like we could have done this as a register at Town Hall and pick up/fill out a ballot situation early if we wanted to. Granted, this would not allow voting in subsequent rounds, but I think people would be happy to just have their voices heard in the first round if they could not stay the whole time. I would appreciate it if the Selects / Moderator would confer with Town Council. - Andy On Sat, Dec 2, 2023 at 7:46 AM ٍSarah Postlethwait wrote: > The way town meeting is now, you have to be present in the room during the > voting to be able to cast your ballot.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?
The way town meeting is now, you have to be present in the room during the voting to be able to cast your ballot. Voting happens after the debate on the topic. When the vote is called, the doors will be closed and only those* present in the **room *are able to cast a ballot. It would be wonderful if town meeting were more inclusive in the future, however that is not how it is set up now.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?
When you check in this am you will be given two ballots. One is for Community Center ~ Article 2. The other is for Housing Choice Act ~ Article 4. Voting will take place for each article after the presentation and discussions of each article. There is no early voting.

[LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?
Can someone confirm if a resident can register this morning and at the same time get a ballot and vote? I hope so, because it would allow many people to have their voices heard.
