Early Voting Applications for Statewide Gubernatorial General Election: Important Dates and Procedures in Douglas County
Early voting applications for the upcoming statewide gubernatorial general election will be sent out to voters in late July, with voter cards becoming available in early August. Registered voters in Douglas County will automatically be included on the Early Voting Request List. The postcard-sized applications, printed on green cardstock, require voters to provide ID information, sign the application, and return it to the Election Commission to receive a mail ballot. These applications will not be sent to voters who have previously received them or requested mail ballots for past elections. Voters can return the applications through various methods, including official ballot drop boxes, postal mail, email, or fax.
According to Danielle Jensen, the Douglas County Election Commissioner, using the postcard application helps streamline the process of applying for by-mail ballots. The Election Commission encourages voters to return the application to a ballot drop box whenever possible. If voters do not receive an early voting application postcard, they can request a mail ballot by submitting a written request with their signature. They can also sign up for the Early Voting Request List for future elections by visiting the website or calling the Election Commission. It is important to note that ballot applications will not be accepted over the phone.
