Vote early

Any voter can vote early. You do not need a reason.

1. Ask the Town Clerk for a ballot, or request one on the My Voter Page.
2. Vote at the Town Clerk’s office, or have the ballot mailed to you.
3. Return it by mail, in person or in the large ballot drop box at the Town Office.

Vote in person

1. Go to Holley Hall, 1 South Street. It is wheelchair accessible.
2. Give your name to a poll worker and get your ballots.
3. Mark your ballots in a private booth.
4. Give your name again and put your ballots in the ballot box.

Poll workers must check every name on the checklist, even if they know you.
