Pomperaug Regional School District 15

DID YOU KNOW?

· In a recent Region 15 survey, the number one reason for not voting was “schedule conflict”.

All Registered Voters or Owners of taxable property valued over $1,000 are eligible to vote. The property (real estate/home, motor vehicle, personal) must be listed in the person’s name on the October 1, 2004 Grand List. Owner(s) must be U.S. Citizen(s) over 18 years of age.

Here’s how you can obtain Absentee Ballots for a spouse or college student who will be out of town, a resident who is immobilized or anyone with a conflict, as stated on the Application for Absentee Ballot that may prevent them from voting on the proposed 2005-2006 school budget on Wednesday, May 4th:
