Town Clerk's Office
Absentee Ballots are available from the Town Clerk's Office prior to an election, referendum or primary. In order to receive an absentee ballot you must be a registered voter in East Hampton, complete an Application for Absentee Ballot and meet at least one of the requirements which include:
My active service in the armed forces My absence from the Town During all of the hours of voting My illness My physical disability My religious tenets, which forbid secular activity on the day of the election, primary or referendum My duties as a primary, election or referendum official at a polling place other than my own during the hours of voting.
The completed form must bear an original signature and received in advance of an election, referendum or primary. After the application is completed, the individual requesting the ballot may receive it immediately. If the individual requesting the absentee ballot cannot come into the office, the ballot must be mailed and cannot be given to anyone other than the individual requesting the ballot.
Absentee ballots for budget referendums are available the following day after the town meeting. Absentee ballots for this type of referendum are referred to as "less than 3 weeks prior to the referendum" and cannot be mailed out due to the limited timeframe.
Ballots for upcoming election/primary/referendum can be found under election ballots/results.
