The state law permits absentee ballots to be cast at any election by any voter who properly requests a ballot. If a voter is interested in voting in a particular election, but is unable to go to the polling place on Election Day, then the voter should obtain an absentee ballot.

A voter may vote by absentee ballot at City Hall. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am - 4:30pm. Before each major election, the City Clerk’s Department also offers special Saturday hours (8am - 12noon) for the purpose of correcting the voter’s list and conducting absentee voting. Please call first to verify the date and time.

A voter may also call and request a ballot be sent by mail. Ballots are mailed on a daily basis. An immediate family member (on behalf of the voter) may, in writing, request a ballot be sent by mail or delivered to the voter by that family member. Applications for an absentee ballot may also be downloadable through this web site as an election draws near.

If the ballot is returned by another immediate family member, the other immediate family member must also sign the application or written request indicating they returned the ballot. The family member must state his/her relationship to the voter.

For more information, please call the City Clerk’s Department at 513-3124.
