Will there still be local elections? How do I vote in my town election?
Executive Order 7OO, Paragraph 1, issued on May 14, 2020 sets forth procedures and revised timelines for local appointments and elections requiring in-person votes.
EO 7OO extended the deadlines for electing municipal and regional government, such that nominations shall be held on June 9, 2020 and elections shall be held between June 27 and June 30, 2020.
These nominating and election town meetings shall to the greatest extent possible be conducted using remote means in accordance with the open meeting provisions of Executive Order No. 7B, while also implementing measures to safeguard the integrity of the process.
One such measure to safeguard the integrity of the voting process may be the adoption of online or vote-by-mail ballot procedures by local officials.
Such online or vote-by-mail option may be provided following a remote town meeting if it is determined to be the best method for validating the eligibility of electors.
