Absentee ballots are available for Bethel residents for the upcoming budget referendum. Applications must be completed and returned to the Town Clerk by appointment. Residents can use the Municipal Center entrance closest to the post office, ring the doorbell and an employee will take photo ID and issue a ballot. The ballot can be voted on immediately or taken home. Either way, it must be placed in the ballot drop box located outside at the front entrance of the Municipal Center, opposite the town's yellow correspondence drop box.
