Apply to vote by absentee ballot.

You can vote by absentee ballot if one of these conditions apply:

• You expect to be absent from the county on election day.
• You are ill or have a physical disability that prevents a trip to the polling place.
• You are registered to vote but live outside the county.
• You are an appointed election officer or poll watcher and will be working at a polling place other than your own.
• You are required to work a shift of 10 hours or more that coincide with polling hours.
• You are a caregiver for a relative (in the first or second degree) who is homebound.
• You are incarcerated but have not been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude.
• You can no longer vote by absentee ballot because of a fear of COVID-19.

If you mail your application, it has to be received in the city clerk’s office by Aug. 17.

You can hand deliver the application by Aug. 19.

If you have a medical emergency within five days of the election, you can apply for an emergency absentee ballot and have the ballot hand-delivered to the clerk’s office by noon on election day. The ballot must have an attached form from your doctor attesting to your illness.

You also may apply for an emergency absentee ballot if you find out within five days of the election that you meet any of the conditions for voting by absentee. You must apply in the clerk’s office by the end of the business day Aug. 23. You also will have to sign an affidavit stating that you did not previously know about the emergency. Then you can fill out the ballot and hand it to the clerk.

If a runoff is necessary, that will be held Oct. 5.
