Absentee ballot (non-political)

I thought that absentee ballots were only counted if they would make a difference in the outcome of the election.

All absentee ballots are first checked to make sure they are properly submitted…and they are ALL counted if so. They are not “break close outcome” ballots. They are regular votes just like the ones anyone else casts.

We have two polling places in our town. If a poll worker is assigned to the polling place that is not their own, they vote using an absentee ballot.

As noted…all absentee ballots must be received by a certain time on Election Day to be counted.
