Absentee Ballots are handled through the Town Clerk’s office, and represent a complete ballot, identical to the ballots used by voters on Election Day just on a different color paper, as they are tallied separately.
Homebound registered voters can arrange for transportation to the polls by calling Social Services at the Senior Center at 860-844-5353.
To check in quickly at the polls, please bring an ID. Should you not have an ID on election day, but have previously proven your ID, either at the time of your registration or when voting previously, you will need to spend a few minutes at the moderator table, as there is a state required form to fill out.
The Town Clerk is now collecting Absentee Ballot Applications if you know you will be away from home on November 5 or otherwise qualify for an absentee ballot.
