• Absentee Voting
If going to vote on election day is difficult for you, you may want to use an absentee ballot, which you can vote at home and mail in.  To obtain an application to vote by absentee ballot, e-mail, call or visit our office.  You may vote absentee if you are older than 60, or disabled, or will be out of town on election day, among other reasons.  You may request to be on our permanent AV list; then you will automatically get an AV application prior to every election.
