The following voters may authorize an agent to pick up and return
an absentee ballot for them:
- Patients in hospitals, residential treatment centers, and
nursing homes
- Residents of group homes
- Residents of battered women's shelters
- Residents of assisted living facilities
- Voters who are disabled
- Voters who would have difficulty getting to the polls
because of incapacitating health reasons
- If you are currently living in a residential facility but
not sure if it meets the qualifications listed above, please ask
the administrator of your facility.
In order to have an agent deliver your ballot, you must complete
the Request for
Agent Delivery of Absentee Ballot Form and the
Absentee
Ballot Application. You must have a pre-existing relationship
with your agent. The agent will use the completed forms to pick up a
ballot, bring the ballot to you, and return your voted ballot to the
county elections office. Each agent is only allowed to deliver and
return ballots for a maximum of three voters. This activity may only
occur the seven days preceding an election. Ballots can be picked up
until 2:00 p.m. on Election Day, and voted ballots must be returned
by 3:00 p.m. on Election Day.
