1. An Application for Absentee Ballot for Referendum Authorized to be Held with Less Than 3 Weeks Notice – Form ED-3R, can be downloaded at www.sots.ct.gov.  Click on “Download Forms”, then “Election Forms”, and then scroll down to “English Language Application Form for Referendums Only”. 

2. A completed and signed application-for-ballot must be delivered to the Town Clerk’s Office in Town Hall, at which time the ballot will be given to the applicant or the applicant’s designee.

3. Once the ballot is complete, it may be hand-delivered or mailed to the Redding Town Clerk's office at Town Hall (see address at left).  

3. If the applicant is unable to come in person, he or she can designate a member of their family to pick up their ballot and return it to the Town Clerk.  (An application-for-ballot must still first be completed and delivered to the Town Clerk with a designation of a family member to hand-carry the ballot.)
