You need to vote!

IT IS YOUR DUTY AS A CITIZEN OF OUR GREAT DEMOCRACY TO VOTE!


This year the NH Secretary of State has permitted mail-in voting by citing COVID19 as the reason for requesting an absentee ballot.

Because of the likely large number of people requesting ballots, and also because often those who have not previously voted by mail might not correctly fill out their ballot applications, it would be smart to request ballots early. To ensure that your ballot application has been correctly filled in, and them be sure to mail your ballot in plenty of time. You can obtain ballots for Primary and General election.

Ballots can be obtained from your town clerk, or they can be downloaded from the NH Secretary of State's web site:
