Absentee ballots are available to eligible voters any time during the year for any election, primary or referendum, and are available through the Town Clerk's Office.
The issuance of an absentee ballot is a two-step process. You may obtain an application at the Town Clerk’s Office or download one below if it is: for your own use, the use of a member of the your immediate family, or the use of someone you designate. If you wish to distribute five (5) or more absentee ballot applications to persons other than the your immediate family you must register with and obtain forms from the Town Clerk before distributing them. For more detailed information please see the Absentee Ballot Fact Sheet.
Application for Absentee Ballot - Each person who applies for an application must sign it with an original signature. (Parents cannot sign for their child or spouses for each other.) Hard copy with original signature must be received in the Town Clerk's office in order for your vote to count.
