Town of Littleton Elections

According to town manager Andrew Dorsett, they are designing an election process based on the NH elections guidelines. An absentee ballot is being designed for those who do not want to wear PPE. Folks can pick it up, fill it out in their car and return it to the polling place without having to wear a mask and gloves. The state authorized a new box on the absentee ballot: a check for Covid as a reason for filing an absentee ballott.

A few highlights of happys from the last meeting:

Kate Vaughan continued her bear story. Fish and Game trapped the bear after it entered 3 or 4 porches at Maplewood. The bear came to the former Tim Bar’s Restaurant owners front door, and got into the living room while she was cooking. He scared the bear away.

Chad Stearns is happy on the community build for the Remich Park. He is hopeful there will be more projects with community volunteer support. Andrew Dorsett added that Lowe's sent a large crew to help on Monday.
