Early Voting Information Session

New this year, Early Voting will take place for the first time prior to the Presidential Preference Primary which is scheduled for April 2.
What is Early Voting? How is it different from Absentee Voting? When is it being held and where? What will it mean to me? Come to the session on Saturday, March 9 from 10 am – 12 noon at the Killingworth Library to get answers to your questions! The registrars will discuss all of the above as well as the upcoming calendar for Early Voting for the rest of the year.
All are welcome. Voter registration materials will be available. For more information please contact [email protected] .

DEEP Fishing Guide Update
The 2024 DEEP Freshwater Fishing Regulations are now available at this link: 2024 DEEP Fishing Guide
There are no regulation changes for freshwater fishing from 2023 to 2024.
However, starting this year the Freshwater and Saltwater Regulations will no longer be combined in one booklet. Marine regulations are set through a process involving many stakeholders and are not usually completed until late February. As many of you are hitting the inland waters well before March, the Fisheries Division has opted to split the two and publish the inland regulations at the start of the calendar year. Hard copies will be distributed to many town clerks and bait and tackle shops in the coming weeks.
Marine regulations will be printed in a brochure and updated on the DEEP webpage as soon as they are finalized (anticipating late March 2024).
New Medicare Cards in the Mail
If you receive a letter indicating you are being sent a new Medicare Card and you actually receive a new card, it is a precautionary measure taken by the Center for Medicare & Medical Services (CMS) because of a data breach – IT IS NOT A SCAM.
When in doubt, Medicare Recipients should call MEDICARE or engage the Senior Medicare Patrol if they have questions or concerns.
