Please print the application, fill it out sign and return it in person or by mail to the OXFORD TOWN CLERK,  486 Oxford Road, Oxford, CT 06478. This application can also be dropped off by a family member. 

The law requires that the Town Clerk personally hand your ballot to you or it must be mailed.  This means that you can not have another elector regardless if it’s a family member pick up your ballot. Once you receive your ballot and it is executed it can be returned by mail or to this office by a family member.

If you will be using the United States Postal Service rather than coming in person, please apply as soon as possible. Ballots must be returned by Election Day. If you have any questions please call the Town Clerk’s office at 203-888-2543, Ext 3024, 3025 & 3026 or email me at townclerk@oxford-ct.gov.
