Cancelling West River Annual Meeting & Australian Ballot Vote

To:       West River Board

From:  Board Chair Joe Winrich & Superintendent Bill Anton

Re:      Cancelling West River Annual Meeting & Australian Ballot Vote

We have consulted with Will Senning at the Secretary of State’s office. The advice we are getting is that we should cancel the upcoming Annual Meeting and Australian Ballot Vote.

The Process:

  • Hold a short meeting Monday, March 23rd to cancel the Annual Meeting and Australian Ballot vote.
  • Post the warning for this meeting in the same locations as the Annual meeting and Australian Ballot vote were warned.
  • Hold a short meeting Thursday, March 26th (after when the vote was to take place) and warn an Annual Meeting and Australian Ballot Vote.
  • Town Clerks should hold all ballots from early voting for the 90 day period and seek advice from the Secretary of State on what to do with the ballots.
