Early voting begins for general election

Information for all towns in Windham County for voting prior to Election Day, Nov. 6

BRATTLEBORO — Early/absentee ballots for the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 6 are available in all Vermont town clerks' offices.

Anyone wishing to vote prior to that date may apply for an early/absentee ballot until 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 5.

Early/absentee ballots may be voted in person in the clerk's office, mailed to the voter by the clerk's office, picked up by the voter or, if a voter is in need, can be delivered to the voter's residence by two justices of the peace.

For voted ballots to be counted, they must be received by the clerk before the polls close on Election Day. For more information or to request an early/absentee ballot, call your town clerk at the number below.

Vermont has same-day voter registration. However, to save time on Election Day, it is advisable to get all registration forms in to the Town Clerk's office in advance, or register to vote by going online to olvr.sec.state.vt.us.

If you are unsure if your name is listed as a registered voter in your town or for more information about voter registration and early/absentee voting, contact your town clerk.
