Returning Your Ballot
You are encouraged to return your absentee ballot using the postage-paid envelope you were provided with your ballot. Your completed absentee ballot must be postmarked no later than Election Day and received by the municipal clerk no later than 4 p.m. on the Friday after the election.
You may also return your ballot via a private mail delivery service, such as FedEx, or you may hand-deliver your ballot. If you choose to return your absentee ballot using one of these methods, your completed absentee ballot must be delivered to the municipal clerk’s office no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day.
In-Person Absentee Voting
You may also vote absentee at your local municipal clerk’s office. In-person absentee voting (also known as early voting) runs for two weeks before an election, ending at 5 p.m. or the close of business (whichever is later) on the Friday before the election. For the 2014 November General Election, in-person absentee voting takes place from October 20 to October 31. Please contact your municipal clerk for information about the location and hours for in-person absentee voting.
If you apply for an absentee ballot in your municipal clerk’s office, you must vote your ballot in the clerk’s office, seal your ballot in the proper envelope, and return it to a member of the clerk’s staff. No ballots may be taken from the clerk’s office.
