The last two days of early voting for Middlebury residents are this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, November 2 and 3, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Room 5 on the lower level of Shepardson Community Center at 1172 Whittemore Road.

The final opportunity to vote in the presidential election is Election Day on Tuesday, November 5. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Shepardson Community Center. District 1 voters will cast their ballots in Room 5 on the lower level. District 2 voters will cast their ballots in the auditorium on the upper level. If you don’t know your district, go to tinyurl.com/ytjwy3zt for a list by street name.

Only one office on the ballots differs – that of state senator in Column 4. In District 1, voters may choose between Jeff Desmarais (D) and Eric C. Berthel (R). In District 2, incumbent Joan V. Hartley (D) is running unopposed.

Ballots from both districts show at the top a constitutional amendment question that, if passed, would remove the requirement to have one of six excuses to obtain an absentee ballot. If the amendment passes, excuse-free absentee voting will be available to all registered voters.

Voters’ candidate choices will be:

Column 1 – For President – Harris and Walz (D), Trump and Vance (R), Stein and Ware (G), Oliver and Ter Maat (L) or petitioning candidates Kennedy Jr. and Shanahan.

Column 2 – For U.S. Senator – Christopher S. Murphy (D) (WF), Matthew M. Corey (R), Justin C. Paglino (G) or Robert Finley Hyde (CGG).

Column 3 – For Representative in Congress – Jahana Hayes (D) (WF) or George Logan (R).

Column 4 – For State Senator – District 1: Jeff Desmarais (D) or Eric Berthel (R) and District 2: Joan V. Hartley (D) (I).

Column 5 – For State Representative – William J. Pizzuto (R)

Abbreviations: D – Democratic, R – Republican, WF – Working Families, I – Independent, G – Green, L – Libertarian and CGG – Cheaper Gas Groceries.
