Remember, No campaigning materials may be worn, or displayed inside the polling place, by poll workers, voters, or the general public. 17V.S.A2508(a)(1)(2). This means voters must remove or cover campaign buttons, hats, articles of clothing and other paraphernalia before coming in to vote. Coats should be kept on if a person is wearing a campaign shirt.
There is still time to send in your absentee ballots though!
If you plan to vote by absentee ballot, the deadline is fast approaching! Please fill out the ballot mailed to you by the State, put in the correct ballot envelope, fill out and sign the ballot envelope and mail back or drop off at the Town Clerk's office.
If Nov. 5th is less than a few weeks away, you need to drop off the absentee ballot at the Town Clerk's Office in person Tuesday-Friday 8:30 AM-4 PM or put in the outside ballot box, to make sure we receive on time and your vote is counted.
