Chester Democratic Town Committee

Our mission is to promote quality of life and sense of community for all of our residents, and to select, develop and elect qualified candidates for public office.

 

Providing Support for the Leadership We Need

The CDTC is able to play an important role in our community thanks to the generosity and volunteerism of engaged residents.

Our goal is to elect interested, qualified and knowledgeable candidates for Town Offices, and to keep our fellow residents informed and involved. Collaboration makes us stronger as a community. We thank all our volunteers, past and present, for their service to our town. Please consider getting involved! Board & Committee vacancies are updated regularly on the Town Clerk’s page.

VOTE!

How to Vote by Absentee Ballot:

 

Absentee ballots are sent to voters who submit an absentee ballot application.   

 

Absentee ballot instructions:
These instructions are also printed on the ballot.

The absentee ballot packet includes your ballot, an inner envelope (marked “B”), and the outer envelope (marked “C”).

 

1.) Mark the ballot by coloring and filling in the round circle with your choice of candidate using a black or blue pen. DO NOT put any other marks in the round circles on the ballot.

You will be voting for four (4) candidates

 

2.) Place the completed ballot inside the inner envelope (marked “B”). Make sure you SIGN the outside of the inner envelope and SEAL it.

 

3.) Place your signed and sealed inner envelope B inside of the return outer envelope (“C”) that is addressed to town hall and is postage paid. Only one ballot allowed per envelope and must be in the envelope marked specifically for you.

 

4.) Send in your ballot immediately so your vote is timely received and counted. You can avoid potential delays by mail by dropping your absentee ballot in the secure Ballot Drop Box located at the rear of Chester Town Hall.
