Thinking of voting absentee by mail? The U.S. Postal Service has warned New Hampshire (among 46 other states) that the state’s recommendation to mail ballots 7 days in advance may not be early enough to make it to the Town Clerk. Mail in that ballot at least 15 days in advance, says USPS. For the general election on November 2, that means getting your ballot in the mail by October 19.
Which also means acting early to request a ballot. You find the request form on the Forms page of this site, Orangenh.US.
After filling out your form, you can skip the mail and drop the ballot off on Election Day. Town Moderator Dan Hazelton recommends absentee ballots—that way you won’t even have to go inside—and Town officials are working to make the process as safe and easy as possible.

Finally, the Supervisors of the Checklist will be in session at the Town House to register new voters from 6:00 to 6:30pm on Monday, August 31, 2020. This is the last date/time to register to vote prior to the New Hampshire State primary election on Tuesday, September 8. No change of party affiliation can be accepted at this meeting.
