Apply for an Emergency Absentee Ballot

Make sure you're eligible to get this type of absentee ballot

You can get an emergency absentee ballot if you meet one of these requirements:

• You have become physically disabled
• A family death or illness requires you to leave your community for the entire time the polls are open on Election Day

The emergency must have happened at a time which made it impossible for you to apply for a regular absent voter ballot.

Normally you would need to request an absentee ballot before the deadline. That deadline is 2:00 pm the Saturday before the election.

Make sure you apply on time

You'll still need to make sure you apply for an emergency ballot before 4:00 pm on Election Day. You must return your ballot to the address listed in the Contact Us section of this page by 8:00 pm on Election Day.
