At the request of the Town, the Fire Department will be present on Maple Avenue to maintain traffic safety.

Absentee Ballots
For detailed information about absentee voting, click here.
1. On the ballot, darken the oval corresponding to your choice with a black pen. Do not sign the ballot itself.
2. Place the ballot in the inner envelope. Seal, sign, and date the outside of the inner envelope. Use the same signature as on your application. On election day, the town clerk compares these signatures to ensure they are legitimate. If you don’t sign this inner envelope, your vote won’t be counted.
3. Put the inner envelope in the outer envelope.
4. Drop off the ballot at Town Hall in the secure drop box. You can also mail the ballot – but make sure you leave plenty of time for the ballot to be delivered.
No Open Burning until Snowfall
Due to extremely dry conditions, the Fire Marshal has banned open burning. Questions can be directed to the Selectmen’s Office at 860-542-5829.
