The CAC negotiates multi-year contracts with Comcast and Verizon that determine the level of funding our local public access station, NACAM, receives to operate.

Sarah Brush

The Secretary of State’s office has mailed out Vote by Mail postcard applications for the September 1st State Primary for all registered voters who were not already in the system with an earlier application for this year.  If you prefer to vote in person at the Early Voting site late August, or vote in person on Election Day, there is no need to return the postcard application.

The deadline to return the application is Wednesday, August 26th, 5 PM.  Once the ballots become available, the Town Clerk’s office will be mailing them out on a regular basis.  Upon receipt of the ballot, please remember to return it in a timely fashion.  If you choose to use the USPS, please keep in mind due to COVID-19, there could be delays in the postal service.  Feel free to drop the ballot envelope in the Town Hall Business Mailbox located in front of Town Hall.  This box is checked several times throughout the day.  Please remember to sign the ballot envelope affidavit.  Without a signature, the ballot has to be rejected.

If you would like to view the sample ballots, please click here.
