absentee ballot by:

- calling the office (673-5051) and asking for an absentee

voter application to be mailed to you, or picking it up.

- by downloading the application for an absentee voter

ballot here, printing it off and filling it out and either mailing it or

bringing it into the office.

- by requesting to be put on the permanent absentee voter list

which means you would automatically receive the application in

the mail before each election. If you would like to know more

about being placed on the permanent list, call the office today.

Once the absentee voter application has been received back in

the office and approved, you will receive your absentee ballot.
