Absentee Ballot Request Service

Voters should be aware that a municipality is not required to mail an absentee ballot to a voter at an address outside the municipality on November 2nd, and a municipality is not required to mail an absentee ballot to any voter on November 3rd. Please contact your municipal clerk for other methods of obtaining a ballot.
