Voting
Votes are always cast at the Town Hall.
Referendum and primary voting is specifically scheduled. General
elections are always held on the 1st Tuesday after the 1st Monday in
November.
Referenda and general elections are
noticed on the Town Bulletin Board outside Town Hall, on the Public
Bulletin Board inside Town Hall and, if timing works out, in the Hampton
Gazette and the
Willimantic Chronicle. On the day of an election or referendum,
"VOTE TODAY"
signs are placed at Town Hall and various other strategic locations
around town.
Absentee ballots may be obtained from
the Town Clerk in person or by submitting an
Absentee Ballot Application
via fax. (see link below for form).
Note:
If the absentee
ballot is for a referendum where less than 3 weeks notice was given,
absentee ballots may only be obtained by going, in person, to the Town
Clerk. If you are unable to get to the Town Clerk in person, you may
send a designee. The designee may be a licensed physician, registered or
practical nurse or any other person who is caring for the applicant
because of the applicant's illness, a member of the applicant's family
or a police officer, registrar of voters or deputy registrar of voters
in the municipality in which the applicant resides. The designee may
also return the ballot in person to the municipal clerk not later than
the close of the polls.
To be counted, absentee ballots must be received by "close of
polls" on the day of the election or referendum. |
