Information which may be updated includes the voter's address of residence (if it is in the same county as their previous address), mailing address and party affiliation. Voters who are not currently registered to vote, those needing to change their name or change an address to a different county may submit those changes by filling out and returning a paper form available for download here.

You will receive your ballot in the mail well ahead of election day. In the packet will be your ballot(s), instructions, and TWO envelope: one in which you will seal your completed ballot, complete the form on the outside, and then IN FRONT OF A NOTARY PUBLIC, sign the affidavit envelope. (Be sure you do NOT sign it until you are in the presence of a notary public. Then place the signed/notarized envelope into the 2nd one, apply ONE stamp (one is all you need!), and drop it in the mail!
Special Conditions: Although any voter can vote an absentee ballot without giving a reason, the law still contains some "excuses" for voting absentee. (Voters with physical incapacity, caregivers, residents of nursing homes or veterans centers, etc.) Some voters benefit by using one of those excuses when they apply for absentee ballots. These excuses activate special conditions that make absentee voting even easier. You will still receive your ballot in the mail (sent to the address you specify), but you will NOT be required to have it notarized by a notary public. You will simply need TWO WITNESSES when you sign your envelope. There are a few other differences, which can be found at this link.
