On Wednesday, September 12, the Marion Board of Selectmen held an emergency meeting to appoint two registrars to conduct a recount from the recent election. Katrina Saltonstall (Democrat) and Matthew Meyer (Republican) were appointed. The recount will be held on Friday, September 14 from 12:oo to 5:00 pm.
A recount petition was received in Marion from Raquel MacFarlane, a registered voter in the town of Marion. The petition concerns the Republican Representative in Congress race, which was on the ballot on September 6, 2012. In this race Adam G. Chaprales received 57 votes and Christopher Sheldon received 151 in Marion, which isn’t a very close race, but overall with all the votes counted in the other towns Chaprales lead the race with less than 40 votes of the almost 22,000 votes cast.
