This document provides instructions for voting by absentee ballot in 4 steps: 1) carefully mark your ballot and fill in the ovals completely, as you cannot get a new ballot for mistakes; 2) seal your completed ballot inside the inner envelope, signing and dating the envelope - an unsigned envelope will invalidate your ballot; 3) place the inner envelope inside the outer mailing envelope, which does not require postage; 4) drop the sealed envelope in the nearest mailbox or secure drop box by November 3rd at 8pm for your vote to be counted.

Congratulations! You voted! Be sure to return your ballot to the
Town Clerk as quickly as possible, it must arrive before 8 pm on Election Day, November 3,
2020 to be counted!
Mark your ballot carefully! Unlike a
polling place, you cannot get a new
ballot if you make a mistake. Make sure
the ovals are filled in like this:
Insert your completed ballot into the
inner envelope, seal it, date it and then
sign your name on the space with the
“X” on the outside of the envelope. This
is very important, if the inner envelope
is not signed and dated, the ballot
cannot be counted!
Place the inner envelope inside the
outer mailing envelope and seal it.
For this election, the outer envelope
will not require postage.
Drop the postage paid envelope in
the nearest mailbox. Or, if you are
concerned about the time it takes
to mail, drop it in your municipality’s
secure drop box located near city/town
hall. Many municipalities have more
than one drop box. Check your local
town/city website for exact locations.
