BARTLETT — Candidates for town and school offices will have more time to campaign this election season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While voting normally takes place in non-SB2 towns on the second Tuesday in March, selectmen in Bartlett plan to take advantage of Gov. Chris Sununu’s Emergency Order No. 83, which allows towns this year to push back town voting and town meetings to as late as July.
