    Any idea how to get a vote to count?

    How does one write-in an approved, local write-in candidate on an early absentee ballot if approved, local write-in candidates are only listed on election day at the polls?

    If a write-in candidate doesn’t register, the vote isn’t recorded. But how can one vote early if the registered names are only available at the poll?

    Also, does Brattleboro count how many write-in votes are disposed of without being officially counted in each election?
