Election Day is November 8th!
Vote in person at your polling place!
Polls close at 8 PM. As long as you are in line by 8 PM, you may vote.
If you aren't registered to vote, you can register at the polls– just be sure to bring proof of identity and residency. You do not need these items if you are already registered.
Need to Return an Absentee Ballot?
If you are able, we recommend returning your ballot by bringing it to your town clerk's office. Hand it directly to them or place it in a secure dropbox, if available.
You may return your ballot by mail, but it must arrive by 8 PM on November 8th. The USPS cannot guarantee the timely arrival of ballots placed in the mail less than one week before Election Day.
