TRUCTIONS
Connecticut law allows you to receive an absentee ballot if you cannot appear at your assigned polling place on election day
because of active service in the Military, absence from the town during all of the hours of voting, illness, religious tenets forbid
secular activity on the day of the election, duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all of the
hours of voting, or physical disability. The State of Connecticut, via P.A. 20-3 July Spec. Sess. has determined that the existence of
the COVID-19 virus allows you to vote by absentee ballot if you so choose for your own safety. To receive your absentee ballot

absentee ballot will be mailed to you beginning October 2, 2020.
