Out of Country – Special Ballots
A "special ballot" is a special absentee ballot for voters residing or stationed outside of the Continental U.S. who believe they will be unable to vote a regular absentee ballot by normal mail delivery. Such voters may apply in writing to this office to receive a write-in ballot listing major offices and measures. These requests can be accepted starting ninety days before a general election. The special absentee ballot will be mailed as soon as possible after a request is received.
If You Are Hospitalized
A voter admitted to a hospital no earlier than five days before an election and confined to the hospital on Election Day may apply in writing for an absentee ballot to be delivered by messenger on Election Day.
