In response to an off line question about Absentee Ballots I thought I
would pass on the following:<br>
<br>
The deadline for Absentee Ballots is a matter of practicality:
processing the application by<br>
the Chief Judge, ballot back to the voter, and the voted ballot to Town
<br>
Hall before the poll closes on May 7, at 8:00 pm.
<br>
<br>
For normal processing the Application for an Absentee Ballot for the
May 7, 2007 Town election should be in the hands of the Chief Election
Judge, Riverdale Park, Town Hall, by close of business April 30, 2007.<br>
<br>
Being this is a "small friendly" town, <u>emergency</u> Applications
for an Absentee Ballot can be processed, with reason, until Friday May
4, 2007, Town Hall, COB. I suggest you hand carry YOUR application to
the Chief Judge so she can hand you your ballot and you can vote and
hand the ballot back.<br>
<br>
Louis King<br>
Asst. Chief Election Judge<br>
<br>
In extreme emergencies (broken leg) someone can get your Absentee
Ballot for you on Monday. Be advised that this takes several trips
back and forth to the Poll. 1) Get the application, 2) take it to the
voter, 3) bring it back to the Chief Judge and get Absentee Ballot, 4)
take Ballot to voter, and 5) bring voted ballot back to the poll.<br>
<br>
Someone can act as your "agent" but I'm not sure that saves a trip by
the time you get the agent paperwork, get it singed, etc....<br>
<br>
I strongly suggest you plan ahead, if you will need an Absentee
Ballot. In other words, break your leg on Wednesday ;-)<br>
