Absentee ballot

From the Town Clerk web page:

If unable to vote on election day because of physical disability, religious beliefs or travel you may vote by absentee ballot.

Obtain your absentee ballot from the Town Clerk before 12 noon the day before an election. Absentee ballots are generally available up to three weeks before an election.

Application for absentee ballots may be submitted in-person at the Town Clerk's Office, or by mail. If a voter submits the application in-person he may obtain the ballot and vote over-the -counter (if available). Otherwise, the ballot is sent by mail.

Ask the Town Clerk's Office for information regarding members of the same household requesting absentee ballots.

Return of ballots: Must be received before the polls close to be counted for Franklin Town elections. Other rules apply for State elections, ask the Town Clerk's Office for more information.

Every vote counts, make your vote count!
