FRANKLIN - Unless you’re a regular viewer of North TV or subscribe to The Sun Chronicle you probably wouldn’t know there’s a special election on Tuesday that will either result in a debt exclusion raising your property taxes or decrease the services you receive.
Franklin's Tri-County Regional Technical Vocational School is seeking funding for a new building to replace the current structure.
State law requires polls for the special election be open for four to eight hours, so polls will open at noon and close at 8 p.m. at all of Tri-County’s 11 communities.
The outcome will be based on the popular vote of all 11 communities.
Even if a town overwhelmingly votes no, for example, if the total vote from the 11 towns is positive, residents in the community that voted no would be responsible for their share of the cost.
North TV spoke to Tri-County School Superintendent Karen Maguire about the election and the project.

North Attleboro residents will cast ballots in the high school gymnasium and Plainville voters will cast ballots in the public safety building behind town hall.
That interview can be seen in its entirety on North TV’s Government and Plainville channels: Comcast channel 98 and Verizon channel 23 in North Attleboro and Comcat channel 8 in Plainville.
