Absentee Ballots For Amherst Residents

Don't let your vote go to waste.

Amherst's town election day is coming up on Tuesday, March. 13 and absentee ballots are available for those who are not able to make it to the voting booth.

New Hampshire law requires that you vote in person at the polling place unless you plan to be absent on election day, cannot appear in public on election day because of observance of a religious commitment, are unable to vote because of a disability or you cannot appear at any time during the polling hours because an employment obligation requires you to remain physically at work or to be in transit to or from the time the polls open until after the time polls close.

Absentee ballots are available in the Town Clerk’s Office during regular business hours, which are 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. A written request with the signature of the voter must be submitted to obtain a ballot.

Ballots may be requested by mail or in person and must be received back by 5 p.m. Monday, March 12 if returned in person, and by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March. 13 if returned by mail. No absentee ballots may be returned in hand on election day.

Election day polling hours in Amherst are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m at Souhegan High School.
