Absentee Ballots
Registered voters may vote by absentee ballot if they will be absent from their city or town on Election Day, or have a disability that prevents them from going to the polls, or have a religious belief preventing the same.
The last day and hour to apply for an absentee ballot is 12:00 PM on Monday, November 5th. Absentee ballots are available at the Town Clerk’s Office. To be counted, absentee ballots must be received in the Town Clerk’s Office on Election Day by the close of polls at 8:00 PM.
Early Voting
We are pleased to announce that all registered voters will be able to vote before Election Day. Early Voting will begin on October 22nd and continue through November 2nd, 2018.
Unlike absentee, Early Voting is available to every registered voter. Registered voters do not need a reason to participate in Early Voting.
