Mass. couple pleads guilty to wrongful voting in NH
Joshua and Lisa Urovitch, both Ashland residents, illegally voted in three New Hampshire elections in 2020 and 2022.
A Massachusetts couple has pleaded guilty to illegally voting in several New Hampshire elections while using a Concord rental property they own as a home address.
Ashland residents Joshua Urovitch, 56, and Lisa Urovitch, 54, were charged in September with three class B felony counts of wrongful voting each.
The couple illegally voted in New Hampshire in the Nov. 3, 2020, General Election, the Nov. 8, 2022, General Election, and the Nov. 8, 2022, Concord School District Election, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella’s office. The pair used a three-bedroom Concord property they bought in 2007 as their domicile address, despite not living there.

As part of a plea deal, the Urovitches each pleaded guilty to one Class A misdemeanor of wrongful voting, and the state dropped the other two wrongful voting charges. They were each sentenced to 12 months in prison. However, the sentence was suspended for two years on the condition of their good behavior, Formella’s office said.
They were also each ordered to pay a $2,000 fine with a penalty assessment of $480 and an additional civil penalty of $1,240 each. They’ve also both lost the right to vote in New Hampshire.
