Overview

The Lowell Election Commission consists of two Democrats and two Republicans who are appointed to staggered four-year terms by the City Manager. The Election Commission was first established in 1920 replacing the Board of Registrars and transferring their powers and duties to the Commission. The Commission’s responsibilities, which today are delegated to the Director of Elections & Census, include certifying nomination papers & petitions, preparing and printing ballots and the preparation and conduct of all primaries, elections and recounts.
