A Massachusetts couple has pleaded guilty to using the address for a rental property they own in Concord to vote illegally in the city.

Joshua and Lisa Urovitch, 56 and 54, of Ashland, Mass. voted in the 2020 general election, the 2022 midterm elections and the 2022 Concord School District elections using the address for a Pine Street property they had only maintained during that period as landlords, according to the Attorney General’s office.

Indicted in September, they each faced three counts of wrongful voting, but as part of plea agreements were sentenced on one count. They will each pay $3,700 in fines and penalties and they face one-year prison sentences, which were suspended for two years under the condition of good behavior.

The conviction means the Urovitches have lost the right to vote in New Hampshire.

Lisa Urovitch has owned a three-bedroom home on Pine Street in Concord since 2007, according to city property records.

The couple was prosecuted by the state’s Election Law Unit. Secretary of State David Scanlan told The Monitor in September that the charges had arisen from standard reporting by his office to the Attorney General of potentially wrongful voting flagged after each election.
