IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO RETURN YOUR EARLY/ABSENTEE BALLOT

It IS too late to return your ballot by mail—ballots must be received (not just postmarked) by 7 pm on Election Day—but there are other options if you don’t want to stand in line at the polling place on November 5^th:

• First, make sure you’ve filled out the certification envelope and sealed your voted ballot inside.
• You or anyone of your choosing can hand-deliver your voted ballot to the Town Office. There is a secure drop box at the southwest corner of the building where ballots can be returned even if the office is not open. We’ll be checking it daily, and several times during the day on Election Day until 7 pm.
• Ballots can also be returned directly to the Community Hall polling place from 10 am to 7 pm on November 8^th.
