[ARCHIVED] Absentee Ballots available for Election on November 2, 2021

With Election Day one week away, the City of Norwalk Town Clerk’s office is issuing absentee ballots to residents who will be unable to appear at their polling place on the day of the election. 

 

Applications for absentee ballots may be requested in person at the Town Clerk’s office or online from norwalkct.org/townclerk. Applications are available in English and Spanish. In an effort to accommodate residents, the Town Clerk’s office will be open special hours the Saturday before the election on October 30, 2021 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Sample ballots can be viewed online

 

A resident can request an absentee ballot for any of the following reasons: COVID – 19 - all voters are able to vote absentee pursuant to Senate Bill 1202 of the June Special Session 2021, active service in the U.S. armed forces; absence from town during all the hours of voting; illness; physical disability; religious beliefs prevent secular activity on that day; and/or required performance of duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all the hours of that day. 

 

Residents are advised that voting by absentee ballot if they are not eligible to do so for one of these seven reasons can subject them to civil and criminal penalties.  

 

If an elector has incurred an illness or physical disability within six days of the election, they may apply for an Emergency Absentee Ballot. They will be able to designate someone to deliver the ballot to them and return it to the Town Clerk. If someone has a permanent disability, they may be eligible to apply for a permanent absentee ballot.

 

All ballot requests must be received by 4 p.m. November 1, 2021. All completed ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. November 2, 2021. 

 

The Norwalk Town Clerk’s office is located at Norwalk City Hall, Room 102, 125 East Ave., Norwalk, Conn. 06851. The office is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
