ELECTION CHANGES FOR 2024
Permanent Ballot – This is an option for those who like to vote by absentee ballot.  Rather than first getting an application in the mail for every election you only need to sign up once and from that point on you will automatically be mailed a ballot for every election.  However please note, that if you use this option and you temporarily leave your registered address you must inform our office when needing to use another mailing address.  The State is working on a way to keep “snowbird” addresses and effective dates in their system.
