What You Need To Know Now About Voting By Mail, Madison

MADISON, CT — Though it’s hardly the first state to do so, Connecticut’s move to install ballot drop boxes in front of every community’s town or city hall has been widely reported on, and praised. The boxes are the place where voters drop their absentee applications, and, their absentee ballots.

Here’s how voting by mail in the Nov. 3 general election will work, Madison. And voters have simply to retrieve their ballot application from their mailboxes, check a few boxes, drop it in a box, and when the ballot arrives in early October, fill it out, and drop it in the box. That’s it.

Step-by-step:

First, you fill out the application for an absentee ballot. Those are being mailed to every registered voter in Connecticut by the Secretary of State in mid-September.

Once filled out, mail it to the Madison Town Clerk, or, put it in the secured official state ballot drop box outside the main entrance of Town Hall.

Then the Town Clerk will mail ballots to voters beginning Oct. 2.

Once received, fill it out and put it in the drop box.

You’ve voted in the election for President of the United States.
