Special Election on June 3rd

The Selectboard has warned a Special Election to be held on June 3, 2025 for the item: “Shall the voters approve of expanding the Selectboard from 3 to 5 members?”

• Early ballots will be available at Town Hall Monday June 2, 8am to noon and 1 to 4pm. If you are returning an early ballot, please try to put it in the ballot drop box in front of Town Hall over the weekend. (This allows us to print the voter checklist on Monday with your name pre-checked off as voting early.) The ballot drop box by the Town Hall front door is open 24/7 and will close at 4pm on Monday June 2nd.

• Voting on election day will be at Mount Mansfield Union High School, 7am to 7pm Tuesday June 3rd. School is in session that day, but there will be a few spots marked with orange cones for voter parking in the front lot of the school. If you are returning an early ballot on election day (Tuesday), please bring it to the polling place at MMU.

• Check the website for election results on Wednesday, June 4th. https://jerichovt.org/Elections/news_feed/special-election-june-3-2025
