3 OLD BUSINESS • Discussion and Approval of October 4, 2022 Special Town Election The Town Clerk stated that she is asking the Board to adjust the poll hours previously voted on by the Board at the July 28, 2022 meeting to rectify the inadvertent error of holding voting hours during the Yom Kippur Jewish holiday which begins at sundown on October 4, 2022. After consulting with Rabbi Lieberman of the Falmouth Jewish Congregation, the Town Clerk asked the Board to adjust the hours to 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. from the previous hours of 12 Noon until 7 p.m. Ms. Kaye further stated that absentee ballots will be readily available for voters that cannot vote during the adjusted voting hours and the alternate ways to vote will be put on the Town's website and Facebook page, Mashpee TV, and the Mashpee Enterprise. Chair Cotton and Vice-Chair Weeden asked that these procedures be very prominent on the previously mentioned media sources. Selectmen Sherman and O'Hara stated that they were fine with this as long as the voters can easily access information on how and when they may vote in the Special Election.
