ELECTIONS AND VOTING

 NOVEMBER 3, 2020 GENERAL ELECTION

NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION

Three options to vote in the General Election are listed below. It would be my hope that most Shrewsbury voters will use the Early / Absentee mailing option for voting. This drastically lessens the amount of exposure of volunteer poll workers in a time of a serious communicable disease. The Town Clerk, Board of Civil Authority members and other volunteers are working diligently to assure that every Shrewsbury registered voter can cast their vote, and at the same time keeping the community and themselves safe.      ~ Mark Goodwin, Shrewsbury Town Clerk
