The Select Board approved the 2026 State Election Warrant on Sept. 29, 2026.

Voters who wish to cast a ballot by mail must request one by Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 5 p.m. Residents who have requested "All Elections" ballots do not need to submit a new application. Ballots can be tracked online, and returned mail ballots can be mailed, placed in the drop box at the back entrance of the Town Clerk's Office, or delivered in person to that office.

Return deadlines are 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 for in-person or drop-box returns, 5 p.m. on Nov. 6 for ballots mailed within the U.S. and postmarked by Nov. 3, and 5 p.m. on Nov. 13 for ballots mailed from outside the U.S. and postmarked by Nov. 3.

Accessible vote-by-mail ballots are available for voters who are blind or have vision, mobility or dexterity impairments, or other disabilities that make marking a paper ballot difficult.
