2024 GENERAL ELECTION NOTICE

So, You've Received Your General Election Ballot Through the Mail...Now What?
 
Many folks have already received their General Election Ballots in the mail. If you have not yet received yours, please wait until next week to see if it arrives, as mailing is still in process. If you have not received a ballot by mail by Tuesday, October 8, please reach out to the Town Clerk's Office.
 
If you have received your ballot by mail, you have several options for voting:
  • Mail it in to the Town Clerk's office (ballots are postage-paid and pre-addressed to your local town clerk's office)
  • Drop it off in the Ballot Drop Box in the front of the Town Clerk's office any time before Election Day (box available 24 hours)
  • Drop it off in person at the Town Clerk's office:  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 9am - 2pm
  • If you plan to vote in person on Election Day, PLEASE BRING YOUR BALLOT WITH YOU TO VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY, Tuesday, 11/5/24, 10 am to 7 pm at the Leicester Town Office.
 What happens if you don't have your ballot with you on Election Day? 
  • You'll need to FILL OUT AN AFFIDAVIT OF NO BALLOT CAST, and you'll receive a new ballot. Town Clerks have received limited numbers of "extra" ballots from the state, so it's great to use the one you've been sent. But, if you happen to misplace yours, or have not received a ballot through the mail before Election Day, do not fear. We WILL have a ballot for you!

Mosquitoes Test Positive for EEE

EEE.jpg

Mosquitoes collected in LEICESTER have tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). EEE is a rare but serious disease caused by a virus that spreads through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people with EEE virus don’t get sick. But for those who do, they experience a flu-like illness with fever, chills, body aches, and joint pain. The illness can be serious in some people, causing inflammation of the brain, hospitalization, and possibly death.

The Health Department strongly urges people in LEICESTER take precautions to prevent mosquito bites:

  •          Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants when you’re outdoors.
  •          Limit your time outside at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are more likely to bite.
  •          Use insect repellent labeled as effective against mosquitoes.
  •          Get rid of standing water. Mosquitoes breed in water that has been standing more than four days.
  •          Cover strollers and outdoor playpens with mosquito netting.
  •          Fix holes screens and make sure they are tightly attached to doors and windows.

Mosquitoes Test Positive for West Nile Virus

Mosquitoes collected in LEICESTER have tested positive for West Nile Virus at the Vermont Department of Health Laboratory. When the virus is spread to humans through mosquito bites, most people don’t get sick, but some get symptoms like fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. The sickness can become quite serious in some people, and those age 50 or older are at the highest risk.

 

Take precautions to prevent mosquito bites and to protect yourself:

  •          Wear long sleeves and long pants when you’re outside.
  •          Limit the amount of time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk.
  •          Use EPA-registered insect repellant.
  •          Cover cribs, stroller, and baby carrier with mosquito netting.
  •          Fix holes in your screens and make sure they are tightly attached to doors and windows.
  •          Get rid of standing water where mosquitoes like to breed.
