Applicants for voter registration who possess proof of identity, age, citizenship, and domicile should bring that proof when they come to register. Qualified applicants who do not possess proof or who do not bring proof with them may still register if they sign an affidavit attesting to their qualifications for identity, age, and citizenship, and/or domicile. However, State law requires that affidavits can only be used within 30 days of the next election- February 12 is 30 days before the Town Election. Affidavits may be used on election day, at the Town Office after February 12, or at the next Supervisors session on March 4.

 

The session may continue past 7:30 to complete any pending actions pertaining to the checklist.
