Returning Your Absentee Ballot.

Have an absentee ballot you need to return for today’s election? You have two options to return your absentee ballot: 1) the mailbox outside of the Village Center (see picture) or 2) in the silver drop box outside of Village Hall. Ballots need to be received by 8 pm today to be counted in this election. Both boxes will be checked regularly. All absentee return envelops must contain the signature and address of a witness under section 4 "Certification of Witness". Ballots not containing a witness signature will not be counted for the election. If a ballot is returned without a witness signature, the Clerk’s office will make an attempt to contact the voter to correct the error.
