Early In-Person Voting Now Available
Early in-person voting is now available! Brattleboro voters can vote in person at the Town Clerk’s Office now through March 4 at 5 p.m. (And, yes, you can get an "I voted" sticker if you vote early!) The Town Clerk’s Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
This means that both early in-person voting and absentee ballots are currently available for the Presidential Primary, Brattleboro Annual Town Meeting, and Windham Southeast School District School Board vote to be held on March 5.
Here’s what else you need to know about this upcoming Election Day:
Absentee Ballots
Vote absentee now through March 4 at 5 p.m. (although we recommend doing so as soon as possible to account for mail delivery time). All voted ballots must be received by the Clerk before the polls close on Election Day, March 5, to be counted. Absentee ballots for this election must be requested.
For info or to request an absentee ballot, call 802-251-8157 or visit https://mvp.vermont.gov.
Absentee ballots can be mailed to the voter or picked up from the Town Clerk’s office by the voter. Only the voter may pick up their ballot. If a voter is in need, ballots can be delivered outside of the voter's location by two Justices of the Peace. Mailing of requested ballots will begin in mid-February.
Presidential Primary
For the Presidential Primary, voters are required by State Statute to choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot when requesting their ballot, and they will receive only that party’s ballot.
Registering to Vote
Vermont offers same-day voter registration. However, to save time on Election Day, it is advisable to register to vote in advance by going online to https://olvr.vermont.gov. Paper applications are available at the Town Clerk’s Office. You can also update your voter information or request a ballot at https://mvp.vermont.gov.
For more information about voter registration and absentee voting, contact the Town Clerk’s office at 802-251-8157. The Brattleboro Town Clerk’s Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
