Medford: Not our role to promote election ...DIRTY ED FINN
___________________________________________
In Medford, meanwhile, the city for the most part leaves it up to groups from Tufts University and Medford High School to conduct voter registration drives.
Other than taking out newspaper ads, posting information on the city’s website and sending notices via its text/reverse phone system, Medford maintains a limited role in promoting upcoming elections.
“Part of the responsibility of the city is to actively engage citizens during the election process,” said 14-year City Councilor Michael Marks, who added he has for years wanted the city to boost efforts to promote elections. “It’s one of our most precious rights — the ability to vote. As a city, we’ve fallen short of the mark.” NOTE: THIS IS FROM A JACKASS, MARKS, WHO PAID OFF TV3 AND ALLEGEDLY A BOARD MEMBER FOR AIR TIME DURING AN ELECTION WHILE HIS COLLEAGUES GOT TRASHED BY MICHAEL MARKS' TWICE ARRESTED GOOD FRIEND.
MARKS RESPECTS FELONS AND UNINDICTED FELONS, NOT THE PEOPLE OF MEDFORD.
Asked on Facebook whether the city should find additional ways to promote elections, a dozen or so Medford residents responded yes — and also offered ideas for reaching more residents, including:
- Posting banners, sandwich-board signs and other signage at major intersections and public buildings, like City Hall, Medford Public Library, Tufts Pool and fire stations
- Utilizing the portable electronic signs stationed throughout the city (like those in Medford Square and Winthrop Street)
- Partnering with grocery stores to post notices about elections and other upcoming city events
- Increasing the visibility of election-related information — such as the names of candidates and polling locations — on the city’s website
