Absentee ballots are available for the municipal budget referendum to be held on Tuesday, May 18, from 6 am to 8 pm, at Newtown Middle School. Any qualified registered voter may vote by absentee ballot if unable to vote in person due to active service in the Armed Forces, absence from town during all hours of voting, illness, physical disability, religious tenets which forbid secular activity on the day of the referendum, or duties as a referendum official at a polling place other than your own during all hours of voting.

Applications are available at the town clerk’s office, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. An absentee ballot may be obtained by applying at the town clerk’s office in person or appointing a designee; contact the town clerk’s office for details, at 203-270-4210.
