We have received a few notes from Wilton residents now away at college who would like to know how they can cast their vote in the Presidental Election.
You must have one of the following reasons to vote by absentee ballot:
- Your active service in the US armed forces
- Your absence from town during all hours of voting on Election Day (if you are away at college!)
- Your illness
- Your physical disability
- Your religion forbids non-religious activity on Election Day
- Your required performance of duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all the hours on Election Day
Step 1 · Provide your name, date of birth, home address, phone number, and email address
Step 2 · Provide the address where you want your ballot mailed
Step 3 · To receive an absentee ballot for the general election, check the box for “Election” and write Nov 8, 2016 on the line below
Step 4 · Select the reason why you’re eligible to vote by absentee
Step 5 · Sign and date the application
Send your completed application to Ridgefield town clerk early enough so that you can receive your absentee ballot and then submit your completed ballot by the close of polls on Election Day, Nov 8
- Once you receive your absentee ballot, follow the instructions
- Mail your completed ballot so it’s received at the address on the return envelope by the close of polls on Election Day, Nov 8
