The State will not be automatically mailing ballots to all voters. If you’d like to vote by mail
you must submit a request to the Town Clerk’s office. If you chose to vote by mail for the
Primary, here’s a couple things to keep in mind:
Each voter is mailed ballots for all three parties but you are only allowed to vote one
ballot. The two ballots you don’t use must be returned in the “Unvoted Ballots”
envelope or your vote can’t be counted.
Ballots must be received (not just postmarked) by the close of the polls at 7pm on
August 11th. You can return your ballot by mail or drop it in the secure drop box
you’ll see at the corner of the Town Office building. We’ll be checking it daily, and
several times during the day on Election Day.
In addition to asking for a ballot to be mailed to you, you can cast your vote by:
Voting at the Town Office up until 3pm on Monday, August 10th. The office is open
Mon-Tues-Thurs-Fri from 9am to 3pm and Wednesday 3-7pm, and there is a
handicapped entrance at the rear.
Voting in person at the Benson Community Hall on August 11 th . Polls will be open
10am-7pm.
Please call 802 456-4094 or email (bensonclerk@myottmail.com) if you have questions.

Town Clerk
