In-Person Absentee Procedure
- The absentee clerk gives you an absentee envelope. Write your name, address, and date of birth on the envelope.
- The absentee clerk checks your voter ID. They stamp the City Clerk's initials on your absentee envelope to say you proved your identity.
- The absentee clerk verifies that you are registered to vote. They process your absentee request in the state system. The absentee clerk prints a label that they affix to your absentee envelope. They ask you to verify that your name and address on the label are correct.
- The absentee clerk stamps Absentee on your ballot card. They write your ward number and stamp the City Clerk’s initials on your card. They activate your ballot card on the ExpressVote accessible voting device. The ExpressVote offers large print, high contrast, and a Braille keypad. It is compatible with Sip & Puff devices. It also offers Spanish translation.
- The absentee clerk steps back to give you privacy. Follow the ExpressVote prompts to select the candidates of your choice.
- Review and approve your selections on the touchscreen. You may insert your ballot card back into the ExpressVote to review your selections. You may also read the selections the ExpressVote printed on your ballot card.
- Fold your ballot card in half and seal it in your absentee envelope.
- Sign your envelope in the presence of the absentee clerk. The absentee clerk signs as your witness. They also print their name and stamp the address of the absentee voting site.
- Your absentee will be delivered to the Clerk's Office when voting ends for the day. The absentee clerk and the courier will verify and document the number of absentees for the day. The tamper-evident seal used to secure the courier bag has a unique serial number. The absentee clerk and courier will verify and document that number.
- City Clerk's Office staff will verify the serial number on the tamper-evident seal. They also verify the number of absentee envelopes sealed inside the courier bag.
- Your ballot stays sealed in its envelope until counted at your polling place on Election Day.
- On Election Day, poll workers will verify that your absentee envelope is complete. They will check you into the poll book and assign you a voter number. They will insert your ballot into the tabulator to be counted. Poll workers process absentees in groups of at least three, to protect the secrecy of each ballot.
