Request #20-127 (Ashland, MA - Town Clerk's Office)

Request for public records made to Ashland, MA by Alison Bosma.

Agency

Ashland, MA

Summary

Hello!   I'm writing a story on mail-in voting, and I'm looking to get some numbers to compare across the region. I want to look at mail-in and overall voting in three elections - the most recent local election, last year's local election, and the 2016 presidential election.   Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10), I am requesting the following records:   - The number of people who voted in the most recent local election - The number of people who voted by mail in the most recent local election - The number of ballots sent out in the most recent local election for mail-in voting - The number of registered voters as of the most recent local election   - The same four numbers for the 2019 local election   - The same four numbers for the 2016 presidential election   For "mail-in," I mean any vote not cast in person, at a poll. I'm thinking that will mean absentee voting for 2019 and 2016, then absentee and the early voting allowed under the governor's order for the most recent local election. Please email or call if that doesn't really make sense.   Please send the records by email if possible. If you expect costs to exceed $10.00, please provide a detailed fee estimate before compiling.   Please email me at abosma@wickedlocal.com if you need any further information or clarification to fulfill my request.   Thank you!
