MADISON, CT — In an effort to keep voters up-to-date, Town Clerk Nancy J. Martucci said voting by absentee ballot is always a two-step process: first, voters get the absentee ballot application in the mail, they fill it out return it and then, the actual ballot will be mailed to the voter.

All Madison registered voters should be getting their application for absentee ballot in the mail this week from the Secretary of the State.

Martucci said that voters who wish to vote absentee, should complete the application and mail it to the Madison Town Clerk in the provided prepaid envelope, or place it in the secured Drop Box outside Town Hall. Follow the signs as you come down the driveway of 8 Campus Drive.
