Record high school voter registration drive

On April 3, 93 high school seniors filled out voter registration applications during a special voter registration session at Granby Memorial High School. Town Chairmen Chris Chinni and Mark Neumann explained the importance of voting, and the registrars answered questions about voting both locally and while away at college. Seniors from Granby, East Granby, Hartland and Hartford participated. Granby seniors who registered, and were age 18 by April 22, were eligible to vote in the annual budget referendum on April 22. All of the seniors who registered with a major political party, 27 Democrats and 28 Republicans, will be eligible to vote in a primary, should there be one, in September.
