Attorney General John Formella announces that Joshua and Lisa Urovitch (ages 56 and 54, respectively) of Ashland, Massachusetts, each pled guilty and were sentenced in Merrimack County Superior Court for wrongfully voting in New Hampshire despite being domiciled in Massachusetts.

The Urovitches own a residence in Concord, New Hampshire. Since at least 2020, the Urovitches have lived in Ashland, Massachusetts, while renting the Concord property to tenants.  Tenants living in the Concord property between 2020 and 2024 confirmed that the Urovitches only visited the property in their capacity as landlords and never lived in the property during that period.

The State charged Joshua and Lisa Urovitch with three counts of wrongful voting each, alleging that they wrongfully voted in New Hampshire in the November 3, 2020 General Election, the November 8, 2022 General Election, and the November 8, 2022 Concord School District Election using the Concord property as their domicile address.

As part of a negotiated plea, the Urovitches each pled guilty to one Class A misdemeanor of wrongful voting, contrary to RSA 659:34, I(a), and the State nolle prossed the two remaining wrongful voting charges.

Joshua and Lisa Urovitch were each sentenced to 12 months in the House of Corrections, all suspended for two years on the condition of their good behavior. The Court also ordered Joshua and Lisa Urovitch to each pay a $2,000 fine with a penalty assessment of $480.  The State imposed an additional civil penalty of $1,240 each.

Pursuant to Part I, Article 11 of the New Hampshire Constitution, the Urovitches have each lost the right to vote in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire Department of Justice Chief Investigator Richard Tracy of the Election Law Unit investigated this case with the assistance of now-retired Investigator Scott Gilbert.  Assistant Attorneys General Brendan O’Donnell and Matthew Conley, both of the Election Law Unit, prosecuted the case.
