Don't forget, if you are unable to reach the polls (due to illness, religious beliefs, if you will be out of town on voting day, or if you have recently moved, etc.) you can vote by absentee ballot. Simply call or write any one of the above offices for your ballot. Be sure to give the office enough time to mail the ballot so your are able to return your vote before the polls close on election day.
