As of Sunday<br \/>\n(today as I write this), over 4,800 voters, or 39% of our registered<br \/>\nvoters, have voted early either by mail or in-person.  If you requested a<br \/>\nballot by mail and it is still sitting on your kitchen counter, NOW is the<br \/>\ntime to return it to the ballot drop box outside Town Hall.  It is due to<br \/>\nthat box by the close of polls on Tuesday!  Want to know if the Town<br \/>\nClerk&#8217;s Office received your ballot?  Go to:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=oSTIIK8jhvaXVeb0\/eRmAJtcEu1YShd5mPbYPRwBsF5oqLt7nDPYRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p>And so, the rest of us are officially on to Election Day!

Voters are encouraged to park in the back<br \/>\nsimply because it is closer to the polls, but the front doors will be open<br \/>\ntoo.  There&#8217;s also more parking in front than in back.  We expect to set<br \/>\nrecord numbers at this election, so come early and expect to wait in line.<br \/>\nPolls will be open from 7:00 a.m. &#8211; 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Help us to avoid lines by deciding now how you plan to vote, especially on<br \/>\nthe 5 questions that will be on the ballot since they are long.
