  • Who is eligible

    Any registered voter who:
     
    • Will be out of the county on election day due to occupation, business, vacation or studies
    • Is ill or disabled

      If you are permanently ill or disabled you may apply for a permanent absentee ballot.

      When your application is approved a ballot will automatically be mailed to you for each election in which you are qualified to vote.
       

  • How does it work

An absentee ballot is a paper ballot which looks exactly like the ballot on the voting machine. The ballot will have instructions on how to mark the ballot. You will receive a return envelope with the ballot which contains an oath which must be signed or your ballot will not be counted. The ballot must be postmarked no later than the day before election day or, if delivered must be received at the board of elections no later than 9:00 pm. on election day.

  • How do I apply

    You may call, write or visit the board of elections to request an application. You may request the application at any time.  To download an absentee application in Adobe Acrobat format, select the following link.
