Bedford’s preliminary vote totals for all four precincts were posted late last night. Town Clerk Bridget Rodrigue will certify the final vote before the November 18 deadline.
With 8,506 ballots cast as of November 3 and 10,657 registered voters, Bedford’s preliminary turnout was 79.8%.
Kudos to Town Clerk Rodrigue and the legion of helpers–veterans and newcomers alike–who facilitated a smooth process for Bedford’s voters from the mail-in ballot process, through early in-person voting, and the final count. HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH!
