How to Vote

You may vote in person at the Barnstead Elementary School, 91 Maple St., Ctr. Barnstead, N.H. Be prepared to show a photo identification. For the handicapped entrance drive around to the back side of the school to the gymnasium and park. You will see the pop-up tent and someone can assist you in if needed.

By New Hampshire law, only residents who will be absent from the town during the hours the polls are open on election day, and residents with illness or disabilities or religious reasons for being unable to travel to the polls are eligible to vote absentee. Absentee ballots are available from the town clerk approximately 30 days before an election. Request the absentee ballot application from the clerk or you may download the application. If you wish, you may submit a request in writing that should include all the information required on the application: your name, voting address, mailing address and your signature. An application for an absentee ballot may be transmitted by FAX to your town or city clerk.

Voters living outside the United States may file a UOCAVA absentee ballot application.
