Important Absentee Ballot Information

BALLOT ENVELOPES ARE CHECKED FOR THE FOLLOWING BY ELECTION INSPECTORS IN ORDER TO BE COUNTED:

• Voter Signature Required:  Sign the certificate envelope where it indicates Voter Signature. 
• Witness Signature Required:  Any qualified elector (18 years or older, US Citizen, Not a felon) can sign as your witness including spouses, siblings, adult children, neighbors, or friends.   If you don’t have a witness to sign, we encourage you to vote in-person absentee.
