Secretary of State Jim Condos reminds all eligible state voters that early voting is now open for Town Meeting Day on Tuesday, March 3.
Early voting applies only to those towns that vote by Australian ballot.
The deadline to request an early ballot is Monday, March 2.
The deadline to register to vote for Town Meeting Day is 5pm on Wednesday, Feb. 25.
“Town Meeting Day can be a great opportunity for community members to come together, discuss the issues that are specific to their particular locality, and have important debates before voting,” Condos said in a news release.
“However, many Vermonters have the realities of busy lives to contend with, and the flexibility of early voting allows these Vermonters to still exercise their constitutional right to vote and, in this way, still participate in local decision making,” he said.
“Many of Vermont's most important issues are decided on a local level and often the outcome comes down to a very small number of votes,” Condos observed.
