Absentee Ballot Application

Absentee Voting Information

To obtain an absentee ballot, write or visit the local Absentee Election Manager (the Revenue Commissioner), request an absentee ballot, and provide the following:

• Name and residential address (or other such information in order to verify voter registration)
• Election for which the ballot is requested
• Reason for absence from polls on election day
• Party choice, if the election is a party primary. (It is not necessary to give a party choice for a general election; however, in a party primary a voter may participate in only one political party's primary; thus a choice must be designated so that the appropriate ballot can be provided. If the voter declines or fails to designate a choice for a primary or primary runoff ballot, the absentee election manager may send only the ballot for constitutional amendments.)
• Address to which the ballot should be mailed
• Voter signature (If a mark is made in place of a signature, it must be witnessed)
• Copy of a valid, government issued photo ID

Returning the Ballot

The absentee ballot application must be returned to the Absentee Election Manager by the voter in person (or by the voter's designee in the case of medical emergency voting) or by U.S. Mail or commercial carrier. No absentee ballot application may be mailed in the same envelope as another voter's absentee ballot application.

Requesting Additional Evidence

Upon receiving the absentee ballot application, the Absentee Election Manager may request additional evidence on the reason for voting absentee if the voter has a history of absentee voting. The absentee ballot applications must turned in no later than the fifth calendar day before the election if hand-delivering, and the seventh calendar day before election if mailed.
