Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) the criteria for requesting an absentee ballot has been updated to include a temporary or permanent physical disability, which may include but is not limited to a physician imposed quarantine due to COVID-19. Or, if someone is caring for a dependent that is under a physician imposed quarantine due to COVID-19.

Just be sure to return your voted ballot by the deadline (received by the Absentee Election Manager by 5pm the day before the election) to make sure your ballot is counted. If you have any questions, please contact your Secretary of State.
