For the town of Leeds, in-person voting will take place in the back lower level of the town office- 8 Community Drive. This location will be open from 7am until 8pm.
Voters may cast an absentee ballot instead of voting in person. To minimize interaction with others during this public health pandemic (COVID-19), some voters may prefer voting by absentee ballot. Casting an absentee ballot is convenient and secure.
Absentee ballots may be requested in writing, by phone, online, or in person up to and including the day of the election, without specifying a reason. However, if you are asking to receive your ballot by mail, please request it early enough to allow for postal mail delivery time – both to
receive it and return it (2-5 days each way).
You can request an absentee ballot by calling your Municipal Clerk’s office at 524-5171.
To request an absentee ballot online or by mail, click here.
Absentee ballot requests are being accepted right now. Printed ballots will be available by mid-June, and we will issue your ballot as soon as possible after that date.
Ballots must be returned to the municipal clerk no later than 8:00 pm on Election Day.
