If you have moved you may be inactive. Inactive voters will not have a ballot automatically mailed to them for the November 8, 2016 Presidential General Election. Ballots are not forwardable to your new residence. The Post Office will send the ballot back to our office as undeliverable. The address would need to be corrected by the voter and then at that time a new ballot will be issued. A little planning upfront would help so that you receive your ballot in a timely manner.
