A Massachusetts couple with property in Concord are accused of illegally voting in the city in 2020 and 2022.
Joshua and Lisa Urovitch, ages 56 and 54, each face three felony indictments of wrongful voting for ballots they cast in the 2020 general election, the 2022 midterm elections and the 2022 Concord School District elections despite supposedly living in Ashland Mass., the Attorney General’s office announced Thursday.
Lisa Urovitch has owned a three-bedroom home on Pine Street in Concord since 2007, according to city property records. The couple also owns two condominium units in a building in Worcester, Mass. and Joshua Urovitch owns two condo units in a complex in Framingham, Mass. Tax records for each of their properties lists the owner’s address as one in Ashland, Mass.
Secretary of State David Scanlan said Thursday that the charges arose from standard reporting by his office to the Attorney General of potentially wrongful voting discovered after each election.
“In every election, there’s usually one or two or three individuals that are prosecuted for voting twice or voting at the wrong location,” Scanlan said. “In the overall scheme of things, three, even four individuals out of 800,000 voters that potentially could turn out is very, very small, but it does happen, and so we remain vigilant in that area.”
Court records don’t list an attorney representing the Urovitchs, who are set to be arraigned on Oct. 7 at 1 p.m.
