You can start requesting absentee ballots now. The deadline
to request an absentee ballot, including a ballot voted in the
presence of the clerk, is Tuesday, February 28, 2017, unless the
voter completes a special circumstances application, stating one of
four allowable reasons for requesting an absentee ballot after this
deadline. The four reasons are:
• An unexpected absence from the municipality during the entire
time the polls are open on election day;
• A physical disability,
• An inability to travel to the polls because the voter is a resident
of a coastal island ward or precinct; or
• An incapacity or illness that has resulted in the voter being
unable to leave home or a treatment facility.
This special circumstances application must be signed by the
voter.
