The polls will be open from noon to 8PM on May 4, 2021 in the Community Room at Town Hall to decide the question “Shall the sum of $6,523,372 be appropriated for the operation and maintenance of the Regional District #11 Public School System for the July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 fiscal year?” Registered voters and citizens owning at least $1000 worth of property are eligible to vote in the referendum.

The Governor’s Executive Order extends till May 19 for obtaining absentee ballots due to Covid, and the use of the secure deposit box located at the top of the ramp. Though Town Hall remains closed, absentee ballots are available up until the opening of the polls through the Office of the Town Clerk by calling 860-455-9132, ext. x201.

The safety protocols used during last year’s election will remain in place: six-foot distance markers, masks, sanitizer, and disposable pencils will be available at the entrance to the polling place. All election officials have been fully vaccinated, and the voting booths will be continuously sanitized.
