Residents who are unable to go to the polls due to illness or disability, or expect to be out of town on May 2 are encouraged to vote by absentee ballot. Anyone with questions about absentee ballots may call the Town Clerk’s Office at 393-2100, extension 104.
This year there will be a 2-sided ballot. Take care to vote both sides when you come to the polls. Please read the instructions carefully since there are several multiple opening offices (such as Board of Education) on the ballot. For these, you will have the opportunity to “vote for any two” or “vote for any three” candidates.
