Vermont 2020 Primary Election Information

Past event
Aug 11, 2020, 7 AM to 7 PM

When: Tuesday, August 11, 2020
Where: Absentee ballot request by mail strongly encouraged or 7 AM – 7 PM at the Winooski Senior Center (123 Barlow Street)

Due to COVID-19, the City of Winooski and the Secretary of State's Office is encouraging everyone to vote by absentee ballot. Request your absentee ballot today by visiting https://mvp.vermont.gov.

If voters absolutely must vote in-person, the Winooski Senior Center (123 Barlow Street) will be open from 7 AM to 7 PM in accordance with Vermont State law and operational health and safety guidance from the Vermont Department of Health, where:

• A mask or face covering is required for building entry
• Only 10 people allowed to enter at a time
• Lines will form with a minimum 6' distance from others

You may have received a postcard entitled "Request for Early Absentee Voter Ballot" from the Secretary of State's Election Office. To request your Primary or General Election ballots, fill out the postcard and mail it back. Please do not fold and tape, simply tear off the return portion - the State has generously covered the cost of the postage but the United States Postal Service will be charging the City for folded and taped postcards. If you have already requested absentee ballots, ignore the postcard. Ballots will be mailed soon. Please note: There will be two ballots, one for the Primary Election, and one for the Winooski School District Treasurer. Voters will have to fill out and sign these separately, but they can be mailed back together in the postage-paid envelope. Questions? Feel free to email Carol Barrett, City Clerk: cbarrett@winooskivt.gov.
