District posts voter and absentee-ballot instructions ahead of May 19 vote
Summary
District staff reviewed voter eligibility, registration deadlines and absentee/early mail voting procedures, including deadlines to request mailed ballots and drop-off rules; staff said ballots for the sick/disabled were mailed and that ballots dropped off by others will count if delivered by 5:00 p.m. on election day.
District staff provided procedural guidance for the upcoming May 19 annual budget vote and trustee election, reviewing voter eligibility (18 years or older, U.S. citizen, district resident at least 30 days), registration options, and the distinction between absentee ballots (requiring an application and reason) and early mail ballots (no excuse required). Staff said ballots for voters on the county sick-and-disabled list were mailed automatically and that the last day to request a mailed ballot is Tuesday, May 12; all ballots must be dropped off by 5:00 p.m. on election day to be counted.
A resident asked whether absentee ballots may be dropped off by someone other than the voter; staff replied that ballots may be dropped off by another person. Staff directed residents to the district website for further information and said the county provides the voter roll. Military ballot application deadlines and other procedural details were also summarized for voters.
