As a result of Proposition 2-22 passing in November 2022, the process of obtaining an absentee ballot has changed. Voters now have the option of automatically receiving a ballot rather than an Application for Absentee Ballot by request.

Permanent absentee voters were mailed an application for the November Election, and an educational insert regarding this absentee ballot change. To automatically receive a ballot for future elections, voters must check the box on the application. Individuals are responsible for mailing address updates. Ballots will be mailed approximately 45 days prior to an election.

If you wish to continue the Application for Absentee Ballot before each election, no action is required at this time.

PLEASE NOTE: All election materials now have pre-paid postage, per Proposition 2-22.

Applications may also be delivered to the Clerk’s Office at City Hall, (320 W. Broadway Street), or placed in the election drop box outside the entrance of City Hall.
