Election Information for Nov 2018

"our state voter database is on a closed network”

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"With midterm elections fast approaching, security of voting systems and voter data has emerged as a major concern across the country. 

“We’ve been working on this for some time and we’ve been aware of the (cyberattack) issues since the 2016 election,” said Debra O’Malley, spokeswoman for Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin. 

Public scrutiny surrounding election security intensified in July after a grand jury indicted 12 Russian hackers, accusing them of interfering in U.S. elections two years ago. 

“The object of the conspiracy was to hack into the computers of U.S. persons and entities involved in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, steal documents from those computers and stage releases of the stolen documents to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” according to the indictment."

In the News: wreath on the tomb; absentee ballots available

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"There is one organization that has endured since the Revolutionary War in America, drawing its roots from the Sons of Liberty themselves – The Improved Order of Red Men. 

Last weekend, Franklin resident Anthony Gromelski, national president of the Order of Red Men and a Vietnam veteran, joined state Rep. Jeffrey Roy, D-Franklin, in placing a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C. 

Gromelski placed the wreath for the final time as the Order’s president, a position also known as Great Incohonee. It was an honor he felt will last a lifetime, he said. 

“We’ve been doing this for 56 years,” he said. “It’s in the history books, and it’s to honor the Unknown Soldier.”

"Secretary of State William Galvin announced Thursday that absentee ballots are now available in every city and town for the state party primaries scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 4. 

“With the absentee ballots now in the city and town halls, college students who will be heading back to school can obtain their ballots and cast them before they leave,” Galvin said in a statement. “Anyone who expects to be away or otherwise unable to get to their precinct on September 4th should apply for an absentee ballot as soon as possible.”

the mailing with information on the Nov 8 election and ballot questions

Early voting begins Oct 24

"Starting later this month, and for the first time in Massachusetts, all registered voters will be able to vote before Election Day.

With a historic presidential election weeks away, area town clerks are advising voters in their towns that early voting will begin on Oct. 24 and continue through Nov. 4.

Prior to the enactment of the new early voting law, the only way a registered voter was allowed to vote prior to Election Day was through absentee voting. Although absentee voting will still be available for registered voters who qualify, only those who will be absent from their city or town on Election Day, or who have a disability or religious belief preventing them from going to the polls, will be legally allowed to vote by absentee ballot.

Unlike absentee voting, early voting is permitted for every registered voter.

A license or ID issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles is required to apply online. To be eligible to vote in the Nov. 8 election, participants must be registered by Oct. 19.

Early voting can be done in person or by mail."
