APPLYING FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT

If a registered voter is unable to vote in person on Election Day, he may apply to the Town Clerk for an absentee ballot for any of the following reasons:

• Absence from the Town during all of the hours of voting
• Illness
• Physical disability
• Active service in the armed forces
• Duties as an election official at a polling place
• Religious tenets

Before a ballot can be issued to the voter, an application must be completed and returned to this office. The application can be obtained in person, by mail or by clicking here (the application must be printed from the web page, signed by the voter and mailed or hand delivered to the clerk’s office).

Absence or inability to vote in person does not mean that you must forfeit your right to vote!   Voters are urged to contact the clerk’s office at 665-8545 with any specific questions.
