" The office of the Town Clerk is the oldest in American History. It was created with the landing of the early settlers in America and serves as a direct link between the citizens of the community and their government.
Every town and city in Connecticut has a Town Clerk who serves in the role as: custodian of official public records; communicator of public policy; organizer of public business; recorder of the community's history, performer of many varied tasks that assist in the smooth operation of local governance.
Our office is the central hub of local government, linking citizens with the documentation of their town’s business and events (continuing reading message here).
Anyone can be a distributor of five or more absentee ballot applications as long as it’s disclosed with the Town Clerk’s Office. The Town Clerk’s Office, however, never sends out unsolicited applications, nor are ballots ever sent out without a valid application.
On Tuesday, November 8, 2022 there will be a General Election. Absentee Ballot Applications are available now! Ballots will be sent starting October 7, 2022 for the November 8, 2022 General Election. Click here for more details!
