How Can I get an Absentee Ballot?
1. Obtain an absentee ballot application from the library beginning on Wednesday, August 21st (or print it by clicking here). You may do so by stopping by or requesting one by mail. If you request one by mail, the last date to do so is Thursday, September 5th. If you are picking it up in person, the last day to do so is Wednesday, September 11th.
2. Complete the application and return it to the District Clerk. You may only request an absentee ballot for yourself. If you are requesting one in person for someone else, please see special instructions below.
3. When you return the application, it will be verified that you are a registered voter in the Gold Coast Public Library district and you will be given a ballot (or it will be mailed to you if requested).
4. The ballot MUST be returned, with the envelope signed, no later than 5PM on the day of the election. If the envelope is not signed, your vote will not be counted!
Picking up an absentee ballot for someone other than yourself:
To request an absentee ballot for someone other than yourself, you must present to the District Clerk a completed application along with a signed letter from the registered voter for whom you are requesting the ballot which gives us permission to give you the ballot. If you do not have both the letter and the completed, signed application, we will be unable to give you the ballot.
