We Support our Registrars of Voters​​

The Westport Republican Party commends Registrar of Voters Maria Signore and Deborah Greenberg, her Democratic counterpart, along with their dedicated staff and deputies, for their tireless efforts in ensuring smooth, secure, and accessible elections in our town. These public servants consistently go above and beyond—working long hours, managing complex logistics, and adapting to expanded voting options like early in-person voting and no-excuse absentee ballots—to protect every voter’s rights and deliver reliable results. Their professionalism and commitment deserve our deep appreciation and gratitude.

 

We support the registrars’ proposal to consolidate polling for the August 11 primary to a single, central location at Bedford Middle School. This move was thoughtfully designed to enhance voter experience by offering better security, ample parking and lighting, easier navigation for all districts, shorter lines, and more efficient staffing—particularly important given the lower turnout typical of primaries and the growing preference for early and absentee voting.

 

While we respect the final decision to maintain the traditional polling locations for this election, we believe the consolidation concept reflects sound planning for future elections. Centralized operations can reduce burdens on poll workers, improve resource allocation, and provide a more consistent, high-quality experience for Westport voters.

 

We remain fully committed to working collaboratively with the Registrars of Voters, town officials, and all community stakeholders to support secure, efficient, and accessible elections that reflect the best of our town’s civic spirit. We encourage all registered Republicans, Democrats, Unaffiliated, and Independent voters to take advantage of the multiple voting options available and exercise their fundamental right to vote.
