As election officials, the registrars are responsible for administering elections, voting rights, and fair play. Registrars also maintain the voter registry, assist in the preparation of specialized voter lists, and fulfill requests for information regarding elections and voter rolls.
One registrar is elected to represent each of the two major parties. Two deputy registrars are appointed by the registrars to assist them in their duties.
Citizens can register to vote in person in the Registrar's Office or in the Town Clerk's Office, or by mailing in a registration form.
