An elector, or someone designated by the elector, may request an absentee ballot from the supervisor of elections in person, by mail, or by telephone. One request can cover all elections within a calendar year. The person requesting an absentee ballot must disclose:

• the name of the elector for whom the ballot is requested

Designees may pick up no more than two absentee ballots per election and must have written authorization by the elector, present a picture ID and sign an affidavit. Candidate may pick up absentee ballots only for members of their immediate family. If you have obtained an absentee ballot but are able to vote in your precinct on election day, you must take the ballot with you to the polls, whether or not it has been marked. However, if you are unable to return the ballot, you may vote a provisional ballot.

At all elections, a voter claiming to be properly registered in the county and eligible to vote at the precinct in the election, but whose eligibility cannot be determined, shall be entitled to vote a provisional ballot.
