2026 Town Meeting

Early Voting - Requesting a Ballot

• Calais Town ballots and WCUUSD ballots will be automatically mailed to all active, registered voters by early February. If you have not received these ballots by mid-February, please contact the Town Office at 802-456-8720 or townclerk@calaisvermont.gov
  
• You must request a CVCC ballot if you would like to vote on that before election day. CVCC ballots will be available by the beginning of February. 

  • To request that a CVCC ballot be mailed to you, please contact the Calais Town Office at 456-8720 or townclerk@calaisvermont.gov. You may also request mailed ballots for other members of your household. We will not mail ballots out after February 15, as it is questionable that there will be time for the ballot to be mailed out to the voter and back to the Town Office before election day.

  • To pick up a ballot in person, please visit the Calais Town Office during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. You may pick up a ballot only for yourself. If you request a ballot for a family member not present with you, we are required to mail the ballot to the voter's address in our voter registration records.

  • You may also vote in person at the Calais Town Office during regular business hours.
