See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 3, 2023, Ms. Pitts queried “…whether an [identified individual] has ... been removed from the [Yarmouth] voter rolls [and] if so, when?” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Pitts petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2742, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Ms. Pitts with a response on November 13, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Pitts may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Audrey Pitts One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
