If you have received a voter registration notice but are unable or unwilling to vote in person at your polling place on Election Day, you can request absentee voting materials. You will find the appropriate application form on the back of your voter registration notice. You can apply for an absentee ballot in writing or in person at the municipal office.

You will then receive the following voting materials:

• a voting certificate
• an official ballot
• an official ballot envelope
• an official light red ballot envelope, and
• an information sheet with important instructions on voting by mail.

If you pick up your voter registration card and mail-in ballot materials in person at city or municipal hall, you can also cast your vote right there on the spot. The administration will ensure that you can mark your ballot in private and place it in the ballot envelope.

If you are unable to cast your vote by mail on your own due to a physical disability or reading and writing difficulties, another person may assist you. Your helper must

• be at least 16 years old,
• confirm in a sworn statement that the ballot was marked according to your stated wishes, and
• keep the information obtained regarding your vote confidential.
