Step 4
Check your mail! You can expect your absentee ballot around a few weeks before the election. USPS manipulation efforts may affect delivery times, so act immediately when received.
Step 5
Fill out your absentee ballot. Make sure to follow the instructions and don’t forget to sign the inner affidavit envelope in ink, using the Religious Observance or Physical Disability side if you are voting absentee for COVID-19 concerns.
Step 6
Return your absentee ballot to your town clerk either through the mail (one .55 first class stamp) 10 days prior or earlier, or in person by bringing to your town hall and handing it to the clerk's office before Election Day. Do not use a mail slot or drop box, unless there is an election official present, otherwise your ballot may be invalidated.
