Applying for an absentee ballot

From Mary Lou Guizzo, October 26, 2011

I've been working on GOTV (Get Out the Vote) and it's a very good way for those who cannot make it to the polls to request an absentee ballot. It can be filled in electronically, then printed, signed and dated, and mailed in. Time is of the essence though as Election Day is rapidly approaching. As per the directions "An application by mail must be received by your county board of elections by noon on the third day before the election. An application by you in person must be received by the close of regular board office hours the day before the election. Applications for persons who are hospitalized or for persons whose minor child is hospitalized due to an accident or unforeseeable medical emergency will be accepted until 3 p.m. on Election Day 2. When you receive your ballot: If you return your ballot by mail, it must be postmarked no later than the day before Election Day and received by your county board of elections no later than 10 days after the election. If you return your ballot in person or if a near relative delivers it to the board for you, it must be delivered to your county board of elections no later than the close of polls on Election Day."
