August Primary Audit Notice

AUDIT NOTICE
August 19, 2010

At 1:00 pm on August 25, 2010, at the Canton Town Hall, a post-election (primary) hand count audit of the optical scan voting equipment will be conducted by the Canton Registrar of Voters in accordance with Public Act 07-194.  The Town Clerk of Canton will begin by conducting a random selection of the offices to be audited.  This audit is open to the public. 

The primary purpose of the hand count audit is to assess how well the optical scan voting machines functioned in an actual election and to ensure that votes cast using these machines are counted properly and accurately.  This is not a recount where the focus is reviewing each ballot to determine voter intent in rendering a final vote count.  Rather, the audit tests whether the machines accurately counted ballots that were properly marked.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Office of Registrar of Voters at 860-693-7839.

Canton Parks and Recreation- Last Summer Concert – The McLovins- Thursday August 12 at 600pm

This Thursday will be the final performance of the summer for the Canton Parks and Recreation Summer Concert Series at Mills Pond Park. We are pleased to have The Mclovins with us this summer. For those who don’t know, The McLovins are a teenage trio rock band that have been rising quickly to stardom and are sure to impress us all. They have recently performed at large festivals including the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport and the Nateva Festival in Maine, sharing the stage with some of the nations largest rock acts and performing in front of thousands. Canton’s own Jeffrey Howard is the guitar virtuoso of the band so we hope to have a lot of hometown support on hand for the evening.
 
Also joining in on the festivities are Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and Flatbread Pizza with food tables set up before the performance. The show starts at 630 sharp so arrive early for parking and food and to get a good spot on the lawn.
 
In case of rain, the show will be moved indoors to the town hall auditorium.

CT Alert Emergency Notification System

 
Sign Up for State Emergency Alerts
 
In light of the recent severe weather and tornado warnings in Connecticut this summer, I wanted to encourage residents to sign up for the CT Alert Emergency Notification System. CT Alert ENS allows state and local officials to help protect lives and property by providing critical information to residents during emergencies, including dangerous situations related to schools or an emergency weather alert like a tornado warning.

In emergency situations, reaction time is precious. The more reaction time, the better our chances of escaping harm.

When activated, state and local emergency personnel to quickly send out an emergency alert to people in the affected area. Depending on the emergency, the alert may be sent to an entire town, part of a town, a group of towns, or a large area of the state.
 
This service is provided free of charge.

Some people don’t always have on a TV or radio during the day but they do usually find themselves near a telephone of some sort. If that describes you, then this system would give you the earliest alert in the rare case of a potential life-threatening situation.

To sign up or to learn more about the program you can visit www.ctalert.gov. You can choose to add a land-line, e-mail, text messaging and other instant messaging as a means of receiving alerts.

The CT Alert ENS a great tool. It’s an easy way to add a level of protection and peace of mind.

If you have questions or would like more information about state government, visit my website www.RepLeGeyt.com or call my office at 1-800-842-1423.

Sincerely,

Tim LeGeyt
Representing Avon and Canton
