Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the April election.  You may also request an absentee ballot by letter. Your written request must list your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, the date of the election, and your signature.

Special absentee voting application provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined to home or a care facility, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror.  If this applies to you, contact your municipal clerk.

You can also personally go to the Clerk's office, or other specified location, complete a written application, and vote an absentee ballot during the hours specified for casting an absentee ballot.

The first day to vote an absentee ballot in your municipal clerk's office is Monday, March 18. The deadline is 5 p.m. on March 29.

Any ballots received after the polls close will be counted by the Board of Canvassers if postmarked by Election Day and received no later than 4 p.m. on the Friday following the election.
