Voters who will need an application to vote by mail must speak with the Clerk to have an application for ballot by mail sent to them.  We MUST speak with each voter who is requesting a ballot by mail.  The application is only good for a calendar year, so it is a good rule of thumb to call the Clerk's office every January to request the application.  Voters can also use this link!  If you unsure if you have an ABBM on file, please call and confirm with the Clerk.
