PARIS — The Board of Selectmen voted Monday night to move the annual town elections and meeting back one week to coincide with SAD 17’s budget referendum.
Town Clerk Elizabeth Knox said SAD 17’s vote is set for June 14, and holding the town elections June 7 would mean an extra trip for Paris voters.
The board voted unanimously to change the date of the election to Tuesday, June 14, and the annual town meeting from Saturday, June 11, to Saturday, June 18.
Board Chairman Raymond Glover asked if SAD 17 could move the election back to coincide with the Paris dates. Knox said the school district is set to hold its budget public hearing on June 7.
Paris usually votes on the second Tuesday of June, Glover said, but added that isn’t set in stone.
Selectman Lloyd “Skip” Herrick made a motion to change the date, noting it would be more convenient for Paris residents.
A public hearing on the 2011-12 town budget is set for Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Paris Town Office.
