Voters may cast an Absentee Ballot instead of voting in-person. To minimize interaction with others during this public health pandemic (COVID-19), some voters may prefer voting by an Absentee Ballot. Casting an Absentee Ballot is convenient and secure.
Absentee Ballots may be requested in writing, by phone, online, or in person up to and including the day of the election, without specifying a reason. However, if you are asking to receive your ballot by mail, please request it early enough to allow for postal mail delivery time – both to receive it and return it (2-5 days each way).
- You can request an Absentee Ballot by calling your Municipal Clerk’s office at (207)628-4441
