County Absentee Ballot Application
The Governor has signed an Executive Order (EO 202.15) that due to the potential for every voter to be a carrier of the COVID-19 virus, "temporary illness of physical disability" would be the reason on the application to select for voters who wish to file an Absentee Ballot Application for the COVID-19 Pandemic.
