Anyone can request an absentee ballot and vote by mail.   Many voters who requested absentee ballots during the 2014 elections requested them for two general elections and will receive them through the 2016 elections.  These voters will automatically receive absentee ballots for the special elections.

A number of requests for voters who received absentee ballots expired following the 2014 general election.  Not sure when your request was made?  Visit our website and use the voter lookup to see when your absentee ballot request expires or call the Elections Office at 823-2238.
