The properly completed absentee ballot application must be received by the District Clerk at least 7 days before the election if the voter wants a ballot mailed to him/her; or the day before the election, if the ballot is to be given to the voter in person.

For an absentee ballot application, contact the District Clerk at 762-4611 ext 119.

When are Absentee Ballots due?
If you are provided with an official absentee ballot, it must be received in the office of the District Clerk not later than 5 p.m. on the day of the election, in an envelope that bears a signed "Statement of Absentee Voter," in order to be counted by the election inspectors.
