How can I obtain an absent voter ballot for the next election?

A registered voter is eligible to obtain an absent voter ballot for an upcoming election if he or she:   1. is 60 years of age or more. 2. is unable to vote without assistance. 3. expects to be absent from Greenwood Township for the entire time the polls are open. 4. is in jail awaiting arraignment or trial. 5. has been appointed to work as an election inspector in a precinct outside of his or her precinct of residence. 6. is unable to attend the polls due to his or her religious beliefs. A voter who wishes to receive an absentee ballot must request it in writing from the election official responsible for administering the election (township clerk); absentee ballots may not be delivered as a result of an oral request made in person or over the phone. However, an absent voter ballot application form may be provided as a result of an oral request.
