The Secretary of State’s Office will be mailing absentee ballot applications to all registered, active Democratic and Republican voters for the upcoming Primary being held on August 11, 2020.
They will begin mailing the applications during the week of June 22nd. If you have already applied for an Absentee Ballot for the upcoming Primary, you should not receive a duplicate application in the mail.
Applications sent by the Secretary of State’s Office will be pre-filled with the voter’s information. Please read the application carefully. In order to vote by Absentee Ballot, you must select one of the reasons listed on the application. Pursuant to Governor Lamont’s Executive Order No. 7QQ, an eligible elector may vote by absentee ballot for the August 11, 2020 primary election if he or she is unable to appear at his or her polling place during the hours of voting because of the sickness of COVID-19. For purposes of this modification, a person shall be permitted to lawfully state he or she is unable to appear at a polling place because of COVID-19 if, at the time he or she applies for or casts an absentee ballot for the August 11, 2020 primary election, there is no federally approved and widely available vaccine for prevention of COVID-19.
Completed applications should be returned using the postage-paid envelope provided. Absentee Ballots for the Primary will be mailed to voters beginning on July 21, 2020.
Please note that if you chose not to vote by Absentee Ballot, voting at the polls will be available on August 11th from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Emergency Management Department in Marlborough consists of a director, two deputy directors and two clerks.

Recently we welcomed Ashley Jacques as our newly appointed clerk. This month we would like to spotlight Dianne Zareski, our veteran clerk.

Dianne has lived in Marlborough since 1979. As an emergency management clerk her primary role is to inspect and inventory all of our equipment annually. Dianne is actively involved with EOC (Emergency Operations Center) support functions and emergency shelter operations.

Marlborough CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) falls under the direction of emergency management where Dianne is an active member aiding with duties such as search and rescue missions and traffic direction for large events. Dianne is also a licensed armature (HAM) radio operator which can be used during large scale emergencies.

We are very fortunate to have such qualified individuals, such as Dianne, who dedicate themselves to keeping our community safe.
