Town Office will have limited hours Monday 1.26.26

Due to yesterday’s heavy snowfall and the continued predicted snow to come, the Guilford Town Office will have limited hours today. Our hope is to have the office open around 10 am as we all shovel our cars out and get our driveways plowed. Since more snow is anticipated throughout the day, we will also be closing at 4 pm. Thank you for your understanding.

Candidate Petition Deadline:

If you plan on turning in a petition for Candidacy today we ask that you please reach out to the Town Clerk via email as soon as possible at townclerk@guilfordvt.gov. In anticipation of this weekends Winter Storm many Town Clerks reached out to the Secretary of State’s (SOS) office asking the question “What happens if Vermont Town Offices can’t open on Monday due to extreme weather?” The SOS office replied stating: “[Vermont] statute only allows for a filing deadline extension if the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. 17 V.S.A. § 2103 (13). I want to make sure that we set up a time that would work for you to drop off your petition before the end of the day. My goal is to make sure everyone gets a fair chance to run for office.
