It is strongly recommended that voting be done by Absentee Ballot. There will be a limit to the number of voters and election workers allowed in the polling place at any one time. Long wait times are to be expected.
The polling place will be set up for social distancing and use of PPE as well.

Absentee Ballots are now available.
Due to social distancing requirements, we will be unable to allow voters to vote early in the Clerk's office for this election. If you come into the office we will ask that you complete a request form, take your absentee ballots with you and return them at a later time.
