Important Deadlines
Ballots may be requested by mail up until 2:00 p.m. on the Saturday prior to an election. Please note that is rarely enough time to complete the process. Request your ballot as soon as possible.
The last day to obtain an absentee ballot in the office is the Monday prior to the election (by 4:00 p.m.). The ballot must be voted in the office and returned. All ballots must be returned by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
Completing The Ballot
Inside your ballot envelope will be the ballot, an envelope, and a secrecy sleeve. Vote the ballot by completely connecting the arrow to the right of the candidate's name. Be sure to vote for only the number of candidates listed in the heading for that office. Some offices allow more than one candidate to be nominated. Complete both sides of the ballot. Place the ballot in the secrecy sleeve, then in the return envelope seal, sign, and date within the red box on the front of the manilla envelope. The ballot will not count if the envelope is not signed!
Returning The Ballot
Ballots may be returned by postal mail or dropped off at the Clerk's office by the voter, or an immediate family member, or a person residing in the same household. Ballots must be returned by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
Permanent Absentee List
The Clerk's office maintains a permanent absent voter application list. Voters on this list will automatically receive an application for every election. If you would like to be placed on this list, please call us at 989-791-0830.
