ABSENTEE INFO
How Can I Acquire an Absentee Ballot?
Ballots may be requested in person, by phone or by letter. When requesting an absentee ballot, the following information must be provided:
- Applicant's name
- Applicant's residence address

- Applicant's date of birth
- The last four digits of the applicant's Social Security Number

One request shall be deemed sufficient to receive an absentee ballot for all elections which are held within a calendar year, unless a request is made for specific elections.
The supervisor may accept a written or telephonic request for an absentee ballot from a member of the applicant's immediate family, or the applicant's legal guardian, if directly instructed by the applicant.
The supervisor of elections will mail out the absentee ballot not sooner than the 20th day before the election and not later than the 10th day before the date of the election.
How do I Return the Absentee Ballot and What is the Deadline?
The voter must mail, deliver, or have delivered the marked ballot so that it reaches the supervisor of elections no later than 7:00 p.m. on the day of the election. The ballot must be returned in the return mailing envelope.
