The indictments allege that the couple was living in Ashland, Massachusetts when they voted in Concord, New Hampshire, in the Nov. 3, 2020, and Nov. 8, 2022, general elections and the Nov. 8, 2022, Concord School District Election.
Officials haven’t released information on the Urovitches’ motives or for whom they cast their votes.
The couple is scheduled to be arraigned in the Merrimack County Superior Court on Oct. 7.
