If you are unable to bring your ballot to the Town Office and slip it through the mail slot before Tuesday, November 3rd, or if you wish to vote in person, the Polls will be open from 10 am to 7 pm at the Town Office.

BRING YOUR BALLOT, if you still have it.
If you do not have your ballot, you will need to sign an Affadavit of No Vote Cast.
You will then be given a replacement ballot to vote.

Per Board of Civil Authority, rules/procedures for in-person voting:
In order to keep you and our poll workers as safe as possible on Election Day on November 3, 2020, the following procedures will be in effect for those voters who choose to cast their vote in person.
1. Upon arriving at the town office (Polling Place), enter through the Front Door to check in (or Accessible Entrance, if need be).  We request that you wear a mask, as will we.
2. One voter or voting family will be admitted to the Polls at one time.
Social distancing will be practiced.  If there are voters ahead of you, you will be asked to wait outside. In the event of rain, we will have 6 foot spacing in the meeting room waiting area or you can wait in your car.
3. The Entrance Checklist poll worker will check you in. Please state your name clearly (Statutory Requirement). If you do not have your ballot with you, you will be asked to sign the Affadavit of No Vote Cast and then given a replacement ballot.
4. If you have your ballot and you have already marked your choices, you will proceed directly to the Exit Checklist. Please state your name clearly (Statutory Requirement) and then deposit your ballot in the Ballot Box.
5. If you have, or been given, a blank ballot, you will be directed to one of two voting booths to mark the ballot. After marking the ballot of your choice, proceed to the Exit Checklist. Please state your name clearly (Statutory Requirement) and then deposit your ballot in the Ballot Box.  We will be disinfecting the booths after each use.
6. Voters will exit by way of the Accessible Entrance.

Voting Early is the best way to stay safe during the ongoing pandemic.
105 Guildhall Voters have already returned their ballot.

With 5 days before Election Day the Secretary of State is recommending that you hand deliver your ballot in order to ensure that it will arrive on or before Election Day and be counted.

Mark your ballot, place it in the Certificate Envelope which you fill out and sign, place it in the Return Envelope and bring it to the Town Office.

Come by the Town Office at any time and slip the Return Envelope through the mail slot in the front door.
Or
Bring your voted ballot in the signed Certificate Envelope to the Polls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020 between 10 am and 7 PM and hand it to the Entry Checklist poll worker.

If you wish, of course, to come to the Polls on Election Day and vote in a polling booth, you may do so. Please bring your ballot with you.  If you have misplaced, thrown out, or never received a ballot, you will be asked to complete an Affadavit of No Ballot Cast and given a replacement ballot to vote.
