Requesting a Ballot
A registered voter may obtain an absentee ballot
request form by:
Picking one up at the Election office
Calling the office to request one
Requesting in writing
Requesting by email or fax
However, if the voter wants to expedite the application process, the
voter may place the following information in the request for ballot:
- The name of the registered voter;
- The address of the voter's residence;
- The voter's social security number;
- The address to mail the ballot outside the county (this applies
only when the reason for voting by mail involves that the voter will
be outside of the county during early voting and on election day);
- The election the voter wishes to participate in. If the election
involves a primary, the political party in which the voter wishes to
participate;
- The reason the voter wishes to vote absentee; and
- The voter’s signature. (If the voter is unable to sign his/her
name, contact the Election Commission office for details.)
-
The voter's date of birth (2011 Amendment -
P.C.412)
A request that contains this information will be treated and
processed as an
absentee ballot request form, and a ballot will be mailed to
the voter.
A registered voter may
obtain an absentee ballot request form no
earlier than ninety (90) days before the election and no later than
seven (7) days before the election. To be processed for the next
election, the application must be received by the election commission no
later than
seven (7) days before the election.
In order to be counted the ballot must be received by election day. The
ballot must be returned by mail and not hand delivered.
