Agreeing with local election officials that some laws which made it easier for voters to cast ballots are redundant, or even unnecessary, selectmen this week agreed to roll back mail-in voting options for the May 1, 2023 town elections.Specifically, board members accepted a recommendation from Town Clerk Robert Cutler to opt out of so-called 'no excuse' early mail-in voting for the upcoming town election.According to Cutler, the opt-out provision had been included in legislation which made early mail-in voting -- a no-questions-asked alternative to in-person voting adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic -- a permanent feature of the Bay State's election landscape.
