Absentee Voting Underway in 8th Congressional District Democratic Primary

Primary is June 10; if you can't make it that day, you can vote absentee. There are 19 different reasons that a person may choose from for voting absentee.

Absentee voting for the 8th congressional District Democratic primary began Friday, with a location in each of the four city/county component jurisdictions in the 8th District.

Voters must specify a reason why they are voting absentee on their absentee ballot application (applications are available at the in-person voting poll location). This reason may not be challenged, however, clarification may be requested to satisfy completing the application (see application, ‘Supporting Information Required').
