Precautions in place for those who go to polls in person.

Voters have several options for casting their ballots in the Sept. 1 primary election. Mail-in and absentee ballots may be requested from town clerk’s offices and returned through the mail or dropped off at town halls. Most town halls have drop boxes for ballots placed at their door.

In-person voting will be held on the day of the election.

Early in-person voting will begin Saturday and run through Aug. 28.

Early voting in person follows a similar procedure as a traditional election day, except voters from all precincts in a town cast their ballots at one designated polling place. After filling out the ballot, the voter will enclose it in an envelope, and it will be counted Sept. 1.

Town officials have several safety measures in place to guard against the coronavirus. Voters should wear face coverings, practice social distancing, and follow directions specific to their town halls.

Here are more details on early in-person voting:
