Eligible to vote on Election Day but unable to make it to the voting polls? Consider submitting a civilian absentee ballot to be sure your voice is heard.
People who may vote by absentee ballot include:

“Get it now and send your vote in right away, don’t take chances of missing the deadlines,” said Rose Reeder, Clinton County Democratic Committee chairwoman.
