Gene Craft, Town Clerk
The Rivendell Interstate School District budget vote was held on May 26, 2020. This vote was mostly held by absentee ballot. The following was posted on the Vershire Listserve on May 28, 2020:
“We wish to express our deep appreciation for the 22 election workers who spent many hours collecting the approximately 50 walk in votes, and processing and counting the 1557 ballots cast (total of Town and District-Wide,) by far the most ever cast in a Rivendell election. We also thank the District administration for tireless efforts to support the vote, and Mike Gilbert of Orford Emergency Management for supplies and advice. There will be more to say and to do to analyze this historic vote, but for the moment, appreciation that we were able to conduct our civic process in a fair and safe manner in this difficult time is the order of the day.
David Hooke, Moderator
