Permanent Absentee Ballot Status
A new law permitting permanent absentee ballot status for the permanently disabled became effective January 1, 2013.
To be eligible for permanent absentee ballot status, an elector must file with the Town Clerk an absentee ballot application together with a doctor's certificate on physician’s letterhead stating that they have a permanent disability and are unable to appear in person at their polling place. Permanent absentee ballot status entitles the elector to automatically receive an absentee ballot for each election and primary for which they are eligible to vote without having to complete additional applications.
