Upon completion of the Absentee Ballot
Application, you must mail it to the Board of Elections.
Once we are in receipt of your application, a ballot will
be mailed to you.
If you cannot pick up your ballot, or will
not be able to receive it through the mail, you have the right to
designate someone to pick it up for you.
Only that person designated on your application may pick up
and deliver your ballot.
If you are permanently ill or disabled, you
have the right to receive an Absentee Ballot for each subsequent
election without further application.
Simply file an application with your board of elections
containing a statement which describes the particulars of your
illness or disability. The
Board will review the facts stated and, if satisfied, will mark
your registration record. You
will then automatically receive an absentee ballot for every
election until your registration is cancelled.
