News from the YES FOR WELLESLEY campaign on Question 2

Lots of people have asked us how to vote absentee in the upcoming May 20 special election.

If you want to vote absentee on Ballot Question 2 (which is the question that concerns the $3.345 million override) you can fill out this form OR look for the bright green “Yes for Wellesley” oversized postcard arriving in your mail over the next few days. The postcard has a section you can clip, fill out and either mail or hand-deliver to Town Hall. Family members may apply on behalf of other voters in their household.

• If you mail the postcard or it is hand-delivered by a family member, a ballot will be mailed to you. Be sure to return the ballot (by hand or by mail) so it arrives by the end of the day on May 20.

• Can’t wait for the ballot to come in the mail? If you hand-deliver the signed postcard, you will be able to vote ON THE SPOT at Town Hall from the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, anytime from now through noon on May 19.
