VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT
Any qualified elector who is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place on Election Day may
request to vote an absentee ballot. A qualified elector is any U.S. citizen, who will be 18 years of age
or older on Election Day, who has resided in the ward or municipality where he or she wishes to vote
for at least 10 consecutive days before the election. The elector must also be registered in order to
receive an absentee ballot. Proof of identification must be provided before an absentee ballot may
be issued.
You must make a request for an absentee ballot in writing.
Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the
primary or election or both. You may also submit a written request in the form of a letter. Your written
request must list your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where
the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, and your signature. You may make application for an
absentee ballot by mail, email or in person.
Making application to receive an absentee ballot by mail
The deadline for making application to receive an absentee ballot by mail is
5 pm on the fifth day before the election, Thursday, November 3, 2016.
Note: Special absentee voting application provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined to
home or a care facility, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror. If this applies to
you, contact the municipal clerk regarding deadlines for requesting and submitting an absentee ballot.
Voting an absentee ballot in person
