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.

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”).
