The discussion centered on logistical difficulties with the Post Office, but the stakes are higher than mail delivery. One board member argued that removing the guide would effectively "keep the voters in the dark," especially for those who don't use the internet.

Instead of resolving the issue, the Board has deferred the decision. They plan to revisit the necessity and model of the guide in Fall 2026. This leaves the accessibility of election information in limbo for the next year.

Longer-form draft.
During the March 9 Select Board meeting, a significant debate emerged regarding how Goffstown provides election information to its residents. The Board discussed the future of the printed voters' guide, which is traditionally mailed to residents to help them prepare for upcoming elections. While the discussion touched on logistical difficulties with the Post Office, the core of the tension was about accessibility. One board member raised a sharp concern, stating that eliminating the guide would be a way to "keep the voters in the dark." This highlights a growing divide between those viewing the guide as a vital tool for democratic transparency and those viewing it as a logistical or fiscal burden. Rather than reaching a definitive conclusion on how to ensure all residents—particularly those who do not use the internet—have access to election info, the Board has delayed the decision. They are set to revisit the necessity and the entire distribution model in Fall 2026. This delay leaves the accessibility of election materials uncertain for the next year. We will be watching to ensure that any changes to how information is distributed do not inadvertently disenfranchise members of our community. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/select-board/2026-03-09/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
