● If acting as an intermediary to pick up an absentee ballot, a letter of authorization from the registered voter must be obtained and submitted to the Clerk.
Special Circumstances
A request for an absentee ballot after the deadline can only be granted in special case situations determined by the county clerk (e.g. a voter is hospitalized shortly before election day and is not able to make it to their polling place to vote). Please contact your Clerk's Office, if you believe you have a special case situation.
