Town Clerk Debbie Aurelia Halstead advises Newtown voters that absentee ballots are available Friday, October 2, for the Municipal Election to be held in Newtown on Tuesday, November 3. 

Any qualified registered voter may vote by absentee if unable to vote in person due to:

*Active US military service;

*Illness or physical disability;

*Absence from town during voting hours;

*Religious beliefs which forbid secular activity; or

*Service as an election official at a polling place other than his/her own polling place.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. Special hours for absentee voting will be held on Saturday, October 31, from 9 am to noon, at Newtown Municipal Center, 3 Primrose Street.
