By Dawn Rees Mooney, Killingworth Town Clerk
Absentee Ballots for the November 2, 2021 municipal election will be available in the Killingworth Town Clerk’s Office beginning on October 1, 2021. In addition to these traditional reasons to qualify:
– active Military Service
– absence from town during all voting hours
– illness
– religious tenets forbidding secular activity on election day
– duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all voting hours
– physical disability
the State of Connecticut, via Public Act No. 21-2, June 2021 Special Session, has determined that the mere existence of the COVID-19 virus allows you to vote by absentee ballot if you so choose for your own safety.
Absentee ballot applications are available on the state’s website: https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Voter-Information/Absentee-Voting , on the town’s website: www.townofkillingworth.com or directly from the Town Clerk’s Office. Complete and sign your application, then return it in person or by mail to the Town Clerk’s Office. Our normal business hours are:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
