Make sure your ballot is with the Wilton Town Clerk by Election Day, August 11. You can return your ballot to the official ballot box located at the rear entrance to Town Hall. You may also mail your ballot, but there have been recent attempts to change the deadline for the receipt of mail in ballots, so to be safe make sure you mail it early.

Do I need a reason to request an absentee ballot?

No, under Connecticut law, a voter does not need to provide a reason or “excuse” for their absentee ballot request.

Who can vote by absentee ballot?

Under Connecticut law, any active voter may vote by absentee ballot. To vote by absentee ballot, a voter must have filled out an absentee ballot application.

Where can I find an absentee ballot application?

Absentee ballot applications are available for download online here 2026 Absentee Voting – Updates and Information and at the Wilton Town Clerk’s Office.

What happens after I apply for an absentee ballot?

The Town Clerk processes the returned application, ensures that the voter is eligible to receive an absentee ballot, and enters the voter’s information into the Central Voter Registration System. At that point, a unique ballot identification number is created for each ballot to ensure only the voter who requested it can vote with that ballot.

Recent events across the country have prompted concern about constitutional protections, the rule of law, and the treatment of immigrants. We believe this is a time to publicly reaffirm principles that unite our community. We support the Constitution and the rule of law, including transparency, accountability, and due process for all. We support peaceful protest and civic engagement – essential freedoms in a healthy democracy.

We affirm the dignity of every person in our community. Immigrants – whether long-settled residents, mixed-status families, or those navigating the asylum or naturalization process — are part of the fabric of Wilton. They are us. They are our neighbors, colleagues, business owners, classmates, and friends. Every person deserves to be treated with fairness, due process,
and respect.

Wilton has long valued civility, compassion, and community. We can uphold those traditions and ensure our town remains
welcoming, safe, lawful, and grounded in democratic principles.

Let us be united in this cause.

— The Wilton Democratic Town Committee
