Voter Registration Information
Felon Registration. I spoke to the Registrar’s Office 946 8035. A felon can register to vote if:
1. They have completed their prison sentence and not in prison
2. They are not on parole
Absentee Ballots. Per City Clerk’s Office 946-8349 absentee ballots can be requested if:
1, Person is handicapped or has a physical disability
2. Has work related or other duties that keep them away
3. They will be out of town during election day.
4. OR “other duties that keep them away”
The above must be attested to under penalty of law
In the above cases they can call the City Clerk’s office 946 8349 and have a ballot mailed to them. This ballot must be returned in the mail no later than one day before the primary or election. To assure the ballot is received it should be mailed earlier. Ballots can be requested and returned in person before election day at City Hall 200 Orange Street.
It is most important that the Absentee Ballots be collected and brought in by a candidate or by his/her representative to insure they are counted. It is important that they be tracked by each candidate and checked off on their master voter list that they use on election day. Then these folks will not be bothered by wasted phone calls etc and they are votes that can be relied upon….. if you require further explanation let us know.
