(Editor’s note: you can see Lincoln’s results for the November 3 election in the Lincoln Squirrel and on the Town of Lincoln website.)
To the editor:
Last Tuesday’s State Election brought 2,786 voters to the polls during the course of a very busy but blessedly smooth day. We are, as always, indebted to the many people who made it smooth, including the 41 poll workers who greeted and processed all those voters; the police officers who maintained order; our Election Chef, Richard Silver, who kept us well nourished; the Smith School custodial staff, who helped us to maintain a clean and well-ordered polling place; and the DPW crew for getting all of our equipment in and out of the Smith School gym in a timely manner.
And thanks to every one of you who took the time and trouble to exercise that most fundamental of our civic rights and responsibilities. We hope to see a great many of you at the Annual Town Election in March.
Those of us who administer elections (as well, I’m afraid, as the rest of you) will all too shortly be turning our attention to the 2016 presidential election. If you’re interested in training for and serving as poll workers in future elections, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Susan F. Brooks
Town Clerk
