A grand jury in New Hampshire has indicted a frequent Democratic donor and lobbyist and her husband who live in Massachusetts on voter fraud counts.
Lisa Urovitch and her husband Joshua, both of Ashland, Massachusetts, were indicted on three class B felony counts of Wrongful Voting by a Merrimack County grand jury in New Hampshire last week, according to a press release from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office.
Prosecutors say the Urovitches voted multiple times in Concord, New Hampshire, despite living in Ashland, Massachusetts. The couple voted in the 2020 presidential election, 2022 midterm election, and 2022 Concord School Committee election in New Hampshire, a state that is more competitive politically than Massachusetts.
The couple owns a two-story home in Concord, New Hampshire, according to the city’s parcel records. The mailing address for the owner of record is in Ashland, Massachusetts.
The town clerk in Ashland, Massachusetts told NewBostonPost on Tuesday that the couple registered to vote in that town in January 2024, which is after the times prosecutors say they voted in New Hampshire. The couple has not been charged with voting in two places.
Lisa Urovitch is a registered Democrat, while Joshua Urovitch is an undeclared voter in Concord, New Hampshire, the city clerk there told NewBostonPost.
Lisa Urovitch, who serves as the director of government relations at the Museum of Science in Boston, has made many political donations to Democratic politicians: 24 totaling $1,785 (she also made a $25 donation to a left-of-center third-party candidate).

Lisa Urovitch is also a registered lobbyist in Massachusetts, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office. She lobbies lawmakers on behalf of the Museum of Science for “matters relating to Science Technology Engineering and Math and Boston/Cambridge Transportation issues,” the state’s web site says.
Urovitch worked with Massachusetts state Representative Jack Lewis (D-Framingham) on legislation that made the podokesaurus holyokensis the official state dinosaur of Massachusetts, as Wicked Local reported in 2022, shortly after then-Governor Charlie Baker signed the bill into law.
The dinosaur was, according to scientists, a lizard that weighed about 90 pounds and ran up to 12 miles per hour, according to MassLive.
Joshua Urovitch does not appear to have made political donations, based on a review of state and federal records by NewBostonPost.
The couple is scheduled to be arraigned on the voter fraud counts at Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord, New Hampshire at 1 p.m. Monday, October 7, 2024.
New Hampshire assistant attorney general Brendan O’Donnell and New Hampshire assistant attorney general Matthew Conley of the office’s Election Law Unit are prosecuting this case.
A lawyer representing the Urovitches could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
