CONWAY — If Conway residents want their absentee ballots to count, they must be delivered to the right place, at the right time by the right person, the town clerk explained Tuesday, noting that most of the requested ballots had yet to be returned with one week to go before election day.
Selectmen at their meeting Tuesday voted 5-0 to formally support Town Manager Tom Holmes' recommendation that several capital reserve fund articles be defeated because the fallout from the COVID-19 might cause the town to lose $1 million in revenue.
