What is the absentee voting process and how do I obtain an Absentee ballot?

Applications for absentee ballots must be received by the Town Clerk on or before the fifth business day before an election. (A voter who has been admitted to a healthcare facility within 1 week of the election, you may use the absentee ballot application to designate someone of your choice to deliver a ballot to you)
If the voter submits the application in person, they may obtain the ballot and vote over-the-counter. The voter should first check with the office to see if the ballots are available. If the ballot is not available, it will be sent to the voter by mail. When the application is submittted in person by a family member, the ballot must be sent by mail to the voter.
