The Town of Belgrade will not conduct its normal town meeting this year. Instead, all of the warrant articles will be on a secret ballot, as they were at last year’s town meeting. The warrant is posted on the town’s website at townofbelgrade.com/warrant, according to a news release from Anthony Wilson, town manager.
Absentee ballots will be available through Tuesday, March 16. To request a mailed ballot, call 207-495-2258. Ballots also may be picked up at the Town Office, 990 Augusta Road, which is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and until 7 p.m. Thursdays. A voting booth will be available for voters who wish to cast their ballot at the Town Office.
Ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. Saturday, March 20. A secure dropbox for returning ballots is available 24/7 on the north side of the Town Office.
Polls on Election Day will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. March 20 at the Center for All Seasons, 1 Center Drive.
Along with municipal department budgets, the ballot includes a three-person race for two Selectboard seats, a moorings ordinance, and several perpetuity articles.
