On December 30th a Municipal Recall Election was held; upon Select Board certification of the results of that election, there will be one vacancy on the Select Board. The Special Election to fill that vacancy is to be called between 30 and 45 days of that certification by the Select Board.
After the Select Board certifies the Recall Election results, candidates interested in fulfilling the remainder of that vacancy’s term should take out nomination papers from the Clerk’s Office and collect signatures of other registered voters in support of their name being included on the ballot. Given the quick turnaround time dictated by Ordinance, the time frame to collect signatures will need to be shortened from the usual 40 days to as short as a 10-day window (exact timing to be determined by Select Board).
Potential candidates will need 25 valid signatures from registered Raymond voters to qualify for the Special Election. (Candidates are encouraged to collect ~35 signatures to ensure that they meet the 25 valid signature threshold).
Once the Select Board certifies the results of the Recall Election, voters can begin requesting absentee ballots for mailing. Ballots will be created and mailed out as soon as all candidates are determined. When ballots are ready (relatively immediately following the deadline to turn in nomination papers), the Clerk’s Office will begin in-person absentee voting at the Town Office.
Voters are encouraged to plan ahead, as this election will occur during the winter, and potentially during school vacation week.
Updates will be posted here as information is confirmed and deadlines are set.
