Operating Engineers sometimes face obstacles in trying to vote on Election Day. However, if you follow these simple steps you will never miss casting your ballot again!
About 30 days from the Election ask yourself: Can I foresee something which will prevent me from going to my voting precinct between the hours of 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM on election day?
If the answer is YES or if the answer is MAYBE you need to vote "ABSENTEE BALLOT".
THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S REALLY SIMPLE!!!
Absentee Voting takes two different forms:
1. You may vote an "Absentee Ballot" on a voting machine in your County Clerk’s office
for at least 12 days before the election. (Some offices allow voting up to 30 days before the election.)
Go to the Clerk's office & tell them why you can't get to the polls on Election Day, ie working out of town OR your working hours do not provide you an with opportunity to vote, etc. (Check the links below to view acceptable excuses. No one is going to give you the 5th degree on this.) You will be directed to a voting machine. Then cast your ballot and walk out knowing you have done a great thing!
2. You may also request a "Mail In Absentee Ballot" from your County Clerk’s office.
Use this method if you can't get to your County Clerk’s office as described in 1. (Click on the links below for complete info on this process.)
