By a Guardian or Relative

If you are a guardian or relative who wants to submit an absentee ballot on behalf of a voter, you must do so in person at the Election Board office.

Only relatives with a specific degree of affiliation to the voter may submit a ballot on another voter's behalf. When you come to the Election Board office, you will have to sign a form attesting to the relationship.

What to Expect

After mailing in your ballot, you will not receive confirmation of your vote, unless you've sent your ballot via certified mail.

If you cast your absentee ballot in person, you will receive a receipt with a ballot track ID on it. You can use this ID to track your ballot online.
