Ballots are now available for early absentee voting for the June 13, 2023 SVUESD Special Election. This district includes voters in Bennington, Shaftsbury, Pownal and Woodford. Polling hours and locations vary, so please check with your Town Clerk for updated information. The Bennington polls will be open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the Bennington Fire Facility, 130 River Street. If you wish to vote early, please stop by your Town Clerk's Office to vote in person or take your ballot with you. You may also call your Clerk to request a ballot be sent to you. If you have already submitted an annual request for absentee ballot, we will be mailing them in the coming days. The sample ballot can be found here: https://www.benningtonvt.org/services/town_clerk/elections___voter_information/sample_ballots.php

While we do not currently have our large ballot drop box available, for your convenience in returning your ballots, we have a smaller drop box located by the front door of the Bennington Town Office. This drop box is under video surveillance and checked daily, even on the weekends and will be available until close of business June 12, 2023. Voters in other member towns should check with their Town Clerk to see if a drop box is available. If you must return your ballot after June 12th, it should be returned directly to your polling place by 7:00 PM on June 13, 2023.

As always, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions at (802)442-1043.
