Proxy Vote

A resident who believes that they will be unable to vote on election day, can Vote by Proxy. 

To Vote by Proxy simply means that another qualified voter in the same municipality votes on behalf of an impeditive voter - a resident who is unable to vote on election day. 

In order to Vote by Proxy, the resident must complete the Proxy Application and submit it to the Returning Officer for the Town. All Proxy Applications must be received by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Once the Proxy Application is approved, a Proxy Certificate will be issued. On Election Day, Thursday, October 2, 2025, the Proxy Certificate must be provided to the Deputy Returning Officer at the polling location. 

Only one Proxy Certificate can be issued for any one impeditive voter . In addition, no person can act as a proxy voter for more than one impeditive voter in the election. 

Proxy voting cannot be used at Advance Polls and will have to be picked up in-person, by either the applicant or the proxy. A valid government issued ID is required upon pick-up.
