Clarification

December 20, 2020

The December 17 article headlined “Board tackles vacancies and staff positions, postpones Town Meeting incorrectly noted that it was unclear whether residents will be allowed to vote by absentee ballot in the town election in March 2021. In fact, absentee voting is always allowed for municipal elections in cases where voters will be absent from town during normal polling hours, have a physical disability preventing them from getting to the polls, or religious belief. This year, taking precautions around Covid-19 was included under the “disability” clause of absentee ballot conditions.

“No-excuse” early voting by mail become permissible as a result of the pandemic and was recently extended until March 31, 2021. Early voting in person is not allowed for municipal elections.
