    ELECTION DAY

    When you arrive at the town hall for an election, give your name, then address to the election worker seated at the check-in table. She will find your name on the list of registered voters.  If your name is on the Poll List you will be asked to show your PHOTO ID.  If your name is not on the Poll List you will be directed to the Clerks Office to complete the registration form.  Then you may continue the voting process.

    Beginning in 2012, voters must sign the poll book to obtain a ballot. The poll book now contains a signature block for each voter.  Voters unable to sign the poll book because of a physical disability are exempt from this requirement. If this applies to you, tell the election officials that you are unable to sign because of a disability. Election officials will write “exempt” in your signature block. After you have signed the poll book and shown your PHOTO ID you will be given a ballot and be directed to the voting booth.

    If you make a mistake on your ballot, you may ask for a new ballot.  You are allowed up to three ballots, due to errors you made in marking the ballot.  If you need assistance, please ask.
