Your local clerk can help with questions about your voter registration, polling place location, and working at the polls.
Absentee voter ballots
Absentee voter ballots are available for all elections. They provide you with a convenient method for casting a ballot when you are unable to attend the polls on election day.
To qualify for absentee voting, state law says you need to have one of these reasons.


  • I am 60 years of age or older
  • I expect to be absent from the community in which I am registered for the entire time of the polls are open on election day.
  • I am physically unable to attend the polls without the assistance of another.
  • I cannot attend the polls because of the tenets of my religion.
  • I have been appointed an election precinct inspector in a precinct other than the precinct where I reside.
  • I cannot attend the polls because I am confined to jail awaiting arraignment or trial.

To request an absentee ballot, please print the Absentee Voter Ballot Application, fill it out, and send it to:
