VOTING FOR A VOTING CHANGE

Bring Voting Back to the Highlands

Voting = Resources and Power

When the Ford School was a polling place, voting steadily increased in the Highlands.  In 2004 the Election Commission and City Council stopped voting there and divided the Highlands into Wards 2 and 4.

Residents now vote at No. Shore Community College or St. Pius Church, which are not in the Highlands. Voting has dropped by 30%, reaching a low last year of 11% of the registered voters. 

In 2014, we argued at the Human Rights Commission that the removal   of voting at the Ford School was a violation of the rights of Highlands voters.  Councilors Rich Colucci and Bill Trahant supported us. The Commission agreed with us; however, matters got worse.

Ward 4 voting this year takes place at the Lynn Museum, which is over-crowded and lacks parking.  Ward 2-4 voting is not in the neighborhood. 

We want voting at KIPP for Wards 4-1 & 4-2 and 2-4.
