Absentee Ballot

Can you vote using an absentee ballot?

Maybe! Connecticut has strict laws regarding who can vote absentee.

  • Are you an active member of the armed forces of the United States?

  • Will you be out of town on Election Day?

  • Does sickness prevent you from voting in person on Election Day?

  • Do your religious beliefs prevent you from performing secular activities like voting on Election Day?

  • Will you be performing duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own on Election Day?

  • Does a physical disability prevent you from voting in person on election day?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are eligible to vote absentee.

Absentee Ballot Applications

In order to vote by absentee ballot, a voter must be an active, registered voter, and have filled out an absentee ballot application.

Click here to download an application for an absentee ballot, or contact the Town Clerk's office to obtain an application.  Absentee Ballot Applications can also now be completed online through the Secretary of State’s Office website.

Fill out the application completely and be sure to sign and date it.  Completed Absentee Ballot applications should be returned to the Town Clerk's office via mail, in person, or in the drop box outside Town Hall.  Once the Town Clerk processes the application, the absentee ballot will be mailed to you beginning:

  • 31 days before a general election

  • 21 days before a primary

  • 19 days before a referendum

  • Or if your application is received after the above dates, your ballot will be mailed to you as soon as your application is processed.

 Returning the Absentee Ballot

Once the absentee ballot is received, complete it carefully following the instructions that are included (** first time voters may be required to include a copy of their ID - read instructions carefully). Return the completed Absentee Ballot to the Town Clerk's office via mail, in person, or in the secure, labeled ballot drop box outside Town Hall.  All ballots must be received by the close of polls, at 8:00PM on Election Day.
