Question 14

I have an absentee ballot and I’m not sure how to fill it out or seal it. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

• The absentee ballot comes with 3 envelopes -- one plain (the secrecy envelope), one with an affidavit, or oath, printed on the outside, and one plain pre-addressed envelope, (the outer envelope). Once the voter casts the ballot, the procedure is as follows:
    • Seal the ballot in the plain envelope
    • Place the plain envelope inside the accompanying affidavit envelope
    • Seal the affidavit envelope and complete the affidavit that is on the outside of the envelope
    • Sign the affidavit and have the signature witnessed by either a notary public or two witnesses 18 years of age or older
 • WITNESSES OR NOTARIZATION 
    • An absentee ballot cannot be counted unless the affidavit is notarized or has the signatures of two witnesses. Electronic or remote notarization is not permitted.
    • The voter has only the following legal ways to return the absentee ballot:
       • forwards the absentee ballot by U.S. Mail
       • forwards the absentee ballot by commercial carrier
       • personally hands their own absentee ballot to the absentee election manager (or delivers by a designee in the case of emergency absentee voting)
 • VOTING DEADLINE 
    • If hand-delivered, the ballot must be in the office of the Absentee Election Manager by the close of business (but no later than 5 p.m.) on the day prior to the election.
