Absentee Ballots

Request for Absentee Ballots

Absentee ballots are available from the town clerk approximately 30 days prior to an election. Request the absentee ballot application from the town clerk, or if you wish, you may submit a request in writing which should include all the information that is required on the application.  Don’t forget your name, voting address, mailing address and your signature.  An application for an absentee ballot may be transmitted by facsimile or email to the town clerk.  Absentee ballot applications are available on our website.

Return of Absentee Ballots

Clerks may accept completed absentee ballots submitted in person by the voter until 5:00 p.m. the day before an election or until 5:00 p.m. on Election Day if received through the mail.  A marked absentee ballot may NOT be transmitted by facsimile to a town or city clerk. If a family member drops off an absentee ballot with the town clerk an Absentee Ballot Return Form must be completed by the person returning the absentee ballot.
