What is an emergency absentee ballot and how would I get one?
 
Answer:

You may make an "emergency" request for an absentee ballot if you cannot attend the polls on Election Day because:

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

Requests for an emergency ballot must be submitted after 2 p.m. the Saturday before the election, which is the deadline for applying for a regular absentee voter ballot, but before 4 p.m. on Election Day. Contact your local clerk to obtain your emergency absentee ballot. Emergency absentee ballots must be returned to the clerk's office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
