LANCASTER — A Coos County grand jury last Friday indicted former state representative and Lancaster selectman Troy Merner on a felony count of wrongful voting. The indictment appears to be a replacement for an earlier charge that contained the wrong date for the 2023 Lancaster town election.

The original wrongful voting complaint charged the 62-year old Republican knowingly voting in the March 8, 2023, Lancaster town election when he was not qualified to vote there because he was living in the town of Carroll. The new indictment corrects the date of the Lancaster town meeting to March 14, 2023 — the actual date.
