Ashland couple plead guilty to illegally voting in N.H. elections. Here’s their penalty
CONCORD, N.H. — An Ashland couple reached a plea deal with prosecutors and have pleaded guilty in Merrimack (N.H.) Superior Court to illegally voting in elections in New Hampshire while they were living in Massachusetts.
Joshua Urovitch, 56, and Lisa Urovitch, 54, each pleaded guilty to one count of wrongful voting.
Both were originally charged with three counts of wrongful voting. But as part of the plea agreement, the two of the charges were not prosecuted.
They were each sentenced to 12 months in the Merrimack County of House of Corrections, but the sentence was suspended for two years on condition of good behavior. They were also each fined $2,000, issued a $480 penalty and assessed an additional civil penalty of $1,240 apiece.
The couple also lost their right to ever vote in New Hampshire.
Authorities charge Concord address is actually a rental property
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said the Urovitches, while living in Ashland, voted in the Nov. 3, 2020, general election, the Nov. 8, 2022, general election and the Nov. 8, 2022, Concord School District Election while using the address of a Concord home they owned as their home address.
Authorities charged the couple actually lived in Ashland and used the Concord home as a rental property. Its renters told investigators the Urovitches did not live at that address and only visited in their capacity as landlords.
The Ashland Town Clerk’s Office said neither Jacob nor Lisa Urovitch was registered to vote in town until 2023.

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed
Schultz said she “highly respects” Aspell, too, but there was a “dissonance between reality” when eyeing what the public and city employees were earning.
Ward 6 City Council Aislinn Kalob, too, would not be voting for the increase, saying it had been “heavily on my mind since we’ve had our nonpublic sessions,” which lasted about six hours of work. She appreciated Kretovic clearly outlining the job of city manager. But people were frustrated with the city manager, and she saw that in the comments in online forums.
“I do feel, after really digging into this, and learning about his job,” she said, “and thinking toward the future when, eventually, at some point, somebody new will be sitting in that seat, we are the ones who direct policy and he is the one that implements it… there is anger out there that should be directed more toward us.”
Kalob said, too, a room full of firefighters, upset about their contract, also made voting for the wage increase something she could not consider.
Michele Horne of Ward 2 echoed similar concerns to Schultz, saying there was significant “wage disparity” between the public and staff and the city manager. She also agreed with Kalob’s point that previous councils created this contract.
