Voluntown Town Hall

Public Works will be closing Wylie School Rd east side at the Shetucket Tpk. intersection tomorrow, Thursday (7/9) and Friday (7/10) to repair/replace drains. No driveways will be blocked. Please use Forge Hill Rd to enter/exit the area.

Pending the weather, on Monday (7/13) and Tuesday (7/14) Shetucket Tpk will be closed right before the intersection with Wylie School Rd to repair/replace drains. No driveways will be blocked. Forge Hill Rd, Wylie School Rd west, or Campbell Mill Rd will have to be used as detours, depending on where you are coming from/going.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Ned Lamont signed an executive order allowing all registered voters in Connecticut to vote absentee in the August 11, 2020 primary.

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill mailed every registered Democrat and Republican in the state an application that they will need to fill out and return if they wish to obtain an absentee ballot. That application, which will be sent via U.S. Postal Service, will include a postage paid return envelope. Beginning July 21, 2020, all voters who requested an absentee ballot will receive the ballots in the mail, which will also include a postage paid return envelope. Voluntown will also have a secure ballot drop box, located at the Town Hall, to allow voters to deliver their absentee ballots in person without close personal contact.

For those who would still like to appear in person to cast their vote, our polling locations will be at Voluntown Elementary School and are open to all registered Democrats or Republicans who want to vote in person; however, the ability to vote absentee will ensure that the democratic process continues safely and securely.

Campbell Mill Rd will be closed on the Shetucket Turnpike end only on Wednesday, July 8, for drainage work. The farm will be accessible by the Wylie School Rd end.

The book return slot at the Voluntown Public Library is no longer being used as the Town Hall dropbox. We had a dropbox installed by the Town Hall front door (the door located on Main St.) that is to be used now.

Voluntown Property Owners,

This year the tax bills have been sent out directly from the company (QDS) that prints out the tax bills. This is a cost savings to the town.

Property bills and personal property bills will be arriving in separate envelopes.

Primary election day is August 11th and polls will be open 6am-8pm. Voluntown’s polling location has changed to the Voluntown Elementary School gymnasium due to the social distancing limitations a  Town Hall. 

For more information on the Primaries, visit the Legals and Bids page on the town website. 

Due to COVID-19, all registered Republican and Democrat voters are able to vote via Absentee Ballot.  Absentee ballot applications will be mailed out from the State of CT Secretary of States Office and Voluntown registered Democrats and Republicans should be receiving them by the end of July. Absentee ballots can not be picked up from the Town Clerk’s office until July 21st.
