LISBON — Voters in District Two, Lisbon Falls, will be going to the polls on Tuesday for a special citizen-initiated recall election of veteran Town Council Chairman Michael Bowie, as permitted under the town charter.

The recall petition was submitted to the town by School Street resident Dorothy Fitzgerald, chairman of the Recall Committee.

The petition cites four reasons for her recall effort, alleging that Bowie

— “denied another councilor the right to place an item on the agenda,”

— “did not consult with all councilors when dealing with the town manager,”

— used “improper influence and/or conflict of interest regarding the use of town funds” and

— “failed to properly preside over a town council meeting.”

Based on charter provisions, at least 608 votes must be cast, voting yes or no. A “yes” vote would validate the recall, and a “no” vote would keep Bowie in office for the remaining two years of his term. A simple majority is needed.

Voting will take place at the MTM Community Center on School Street. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m Tuesday. Absentee ballots are available at the town clerk’s office. For further information, contact Town Clerk Twila Lycette at 353-3000, ext. 112.
