ABSENT VOTER BALLOT AVAILABILITY NOTICE:
The shipment of a majority of our absent voter ballots is delayed. This delay is due to litigation by a presidential candidate at the state level which resulted in delayed approval of our ballots by the Bureau of Elections. Ballots are expected to arrive the week of September 30th; however, our ballot printing vendor has not confirmed the ship date.
As soon as ballots are received, an update to our website and township Facebook page will be made, and ballots will be immediately available during our office hours.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
