The application must be filled in and mailed or hand delivered to the auditor's office allowing sufficient time for the ballot to be mailed to the voter and the voted ballot to be returned to the Auditor's office by 3:00 p.m. on election day. The application may NOT be faxed. Exception:
Uniformed and overseas citizens may submit an application or request for absentee ballot by fax or emailed image to the person in charge of the election. Absentee ballot requests from overseas citizens need not be notarized.
