Have you recently moved to Uxbridge?
Can The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation Impact Your Right To Vote? read Barrie's post below You may be surpised
You may not be aware that Uxbridge uses a mail in ballot and You are likely not on the voters list
If You have not Received a Mail In Ballot I recommend You Go To the Town Offices prepared to identify Yourself (take a tax bill if you have one) with sufficient information to show you reside or own property in Uxbridge.
Don't wait for election day as there is only one location to go to to get a ballot and drop it off. It is now too late to mail in your ballot and ensure it arrives in time

Municipal Election 2010 -
You might ask yourself is there a connection between my properties assessment for taxation and my right to vote?
YES - The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) can have an Impact on Your Right To Vote?
You may not be on the Voters List if you recently purchased a property.
MPAC is responsible for creating the preliminary Voters list, this list is given to the Township in July who use this information to create their final voters list.
Property Purchased early in 2010
I discovered that for some reason MPAC did not put a purchaser of a property on the voters list, even though they and the Township were aware of the change of ownership (the town mailed their tax bill with all the appropriate assessment information on it to the new owners) long before June 1st, in fact a tax receipt was issued to the new owners on April 30 2010 for the then current tax installment.
You have to wonder at the quality of the work MPAC does when they can't even get a registered qwner of a property onto a preliminary voters list that they produced from their records. The same records that they use to produce the assessment on your home.
