How can I apply for an absentee ballot?
Apply in writing to your city or town clerk or election commission and include your:
name,
address as registered,
ward and precinct (if you know them),
address where you wish the absentee ballot sent,
in a primary, the party ballot you want, and
your signature.
There is an application form available at your local election office or by downloading one of the applications below. You may also make application by letter or note. Whichever method you choose, the application must be made in writing and signed.

Can anyone else apply for an absentee ballot for me?
Yes. A family member may apply for you.

When should I submit my application for an absentee ballot?
If you wish to vote by absentee ballot for more than one election in a year you may make one application and request that ballots for all elections during that calendar year be sent to you.
If you vote by mail, make certain the application arrives at your local election office early. Remember, the ballot will be mailed to you. You may mail or hand-deliver it back to the election office but must arrive before the close of the polls on election day (8:00 p.m. for state elections).
If you cast your ballot at the clerk's office before election day, plan to visit the office two or three weeks before the election. You can make your application and cast your vote in one visit.
Call the clerk's office to make certain that the absentee ballots are available. Absentee ballots should be available three weeks before an election
