August 18, 2020
The Town Clerk’s Office is in the process of mailing out ballots to those voters who had previously made a written request for absentee ballots, completed a Vote by Mail application or had returned the postcards that were mailed to them by the Secretary of State. For some Unenrolled voters (those that are not registered in a party-formerly known as “Independent”), if you requested a Primary ballot and did not check off what ballot you wanted and didn’t give a phone number, you will not be mailed a ballot unless you contact the Town Clerk’s Office.
