The deadline for us to mail an AV ballot is the Friday before each election, but we encourage you do apply much sooner than that.  It may not be possible for the ballot to reach you in the mail if you wait.  We encourage voters to get their application in early to allow time for delivery. 
Please return your AV ballot as soon as you have completed it to insure it is received on time.   The ballot must be placed in the gold security sleeve with the number visible (do not attempt to seal the gold security sleeve).   Place the security sleeve in the return envelope provided.  The return envelope is then sealed and signed by the voter.  

AV ballots must be returned to our office by 8:00 pm on Election Day to be counted.
