What are the top 10 things I need to know about absentee voting?
- Get your ballot early. Do not wait until the last minute.
- Mail your voted ballot back as soon as you can.
- If you spoil or miss-mark your ballot contact your county Department.
- Fill in the ovals. Do not use any other mark.
- Sign and date the ballot envelope.
- Only Democrats can vote in a Democratic Primary and Republicans in a Republican Primary.
- Have your affidavit notarized if your reason is in Section B.
- Only vote for one candidate for each office. (NOTE: You may vote for three candidates for Wilmington City Council-at-Large).
- Do not write on the ballot except to make your selections or correct a mistake.
- The Department counts almost all absentee ballots returned on time. A few ballots may not be counted for cause.
