Notice to Voters

Register to Vote: The deadline to register to vote is 12:00 Noon on the second Monday before any election. If the second Monday falls on a holiday the deadline will be extended to the following day, Tuesday. If you would like to register to vote you may come into the Town Clerk’s office during regular hours Monday through Wednesday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Thursday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and on Friday the secretary at the front desk can help you with an application to the check list. If you are a first time voter and you mail your application to me and I do not know you, you will need to bring a form of identification with you, preferably a picture ID. (I will have to make a copy of your ID to keep on file.)

Early or Absentee Ballots: You or a family member on your behalf, may request an early or absentee ballot from your Town Clerk by telephone or mail at any time up until 4:00 P.M. or the closing of the Town Clerk’s office on the day before any election. An authorized person can apply for you to get a ballot only in person or in writing.

You can also go to the Town Clerk’s office and vote your ballot while at the office. Or, you can pick up your ballot, only your ballot, at the Town Clerk’s office and take it home to vote. (You cannot pick up a ballot for your spouse or anyone else.)

If you take your ballot or have a ballot sent to you, you must return the ballot to the Town Clerk’s office or to the polling place not later that 7:00 P.M. on the day of election.

If you are ill or disabled, you can request that a pair of Justices of the Peace deliver a ballot to you. You can request assistance in reading or marking your ballot from the justices. They must return the ballot to the Town Clerk for you.

On Election Day:

• If your name was dropped from the checklist in error, explain the situation to your Town Clerk and ask that it be put back on.
• If the problem isn’t cleared up to your satisfaction, have the Town Clerk, a selectman or other member of the Board of Civil Authority call an immediate meeting of the members of the board who are present at the polls. They should investigate the problem and clear it up.
• If you are still not satisfied, you may take a brief written request to a Superior Court judge, who will rule on your request before the polls close that day. Call the Secretary of State’s Office at 1-800-439-VOTE for more information.
• If you have physical disabilities, are visually impaired or can’t read, you may bring the person of your choice to assist you or you can request assistance from two election officials.
• If you cannot get from the car into the polling place, two election officials may bring a ballot to your car.

The Following Are Prohibited by Law:

• Do Not knowingly vote more that once, either in the same town or in different towns.
• Do Not mislead the Board of Civil Authority about your own or another person’s eligibility to vote. You can only register to vote and remain on the checklist in the town of your principal dwelling place.
• Do Not display any campaign literature, stickers, buttons, etc. within the building containing a polling place. However, a voter may bring in a small card or paper into the polling place for his or her own use in remembering candidates so long as it is not publicly displayed.
• Do Not solicit votes or otherwise campaign within the building containing a polling place.
• Do Not interfere with the progress of a voter going to and from the polling place. This includes not socializing in a manner that will disturb other voters.
