Hospitalized Absentee Voting Begins Today
posted
Today is the first day for hospitalized voters to have an absentee ballot delivered to them in the hospital. This process is available until 5 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, August 13.
Hospitalized voters can initiate the process by appointing an agent and requesting a hospitalized absentee ballot.
The agent delivers the absentee request to the Clerk’s Office and presents both the agent’s ID and a copy of the voter’s ID. If the voter needs to register or update their registration, the agent brings the Clerk’s Office a voter registration application and proof of the voter’s address.
The agent delivers the ballot to the voter at the hospital. Once the voter has marked their ballot and completed the certificate envelope, the agent brings the absentee back to the Clerk’s Office. All absentee ballots are sent to the polls to be counted on Election Day.
The goal of the City Clerk’s Office is that each eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.
