To make the opportunity to vote more readily
available, Minnesota has expanded its system of absentee voting to allow
people to vote even if they cannot go to the polling place in person.
The law allows absentee voting in all elections, including city elections.
Please read the stipulations below to see if you qualify to absentee vote.
¡ LMC, "Handbook for Minnesota Cities," Election Procedures;
Absentee Voting, 1997,
p. 85.

You may vote by absentee ballot if:
 | you are going to be absent from the precinct on election day |
| illness or disability prevents your going to the polling place on
election day |
| religious discipline or observance prohibits your attendance at the
polling place on election day |
| you are serving as an election judge in another precinct
|
|
Absentee ballots are available 46 days prior to the state primary
and the state general election. You may pick up an
application for an absentee ballot in person, or request one by mail from
the Election Division of your city. Contact your city hall, for Orono

ARMED FORCES OR OUTSIDE UNITED STATES |
If you are in the armed forces or residing
outside the United States, you may vote by absentee ballot using the address
where you last lived in Minnesota. A Special "Federal Postcard Application
form"
is required, which you may obtain from the Elections
Division at Hennepin County or from the voting assistance officer in
your military unit. Your parent, spouse, brother, sister or child
at least 18 years of age may also request an absentee ballot
for you.

COLLEGE
STUDENTS - WHERE DO I VOTE? |
As a college student , you have a choice about where to cast your ballot.
Note: You may vote only once in any given election.
| If you live at home while attending school, you would vote in your
hometown elections, at your hometown polling place.
|
| If you live on campus, you may vote either at your hometown polling
place (as long as you still have a permanent
residence there), or you may vote at the polling place in the neighborhood
where school is located (but not at both places, you must make a
choice).
|
| If you live off campus at school, you may vote either at your hometown
polling place (as long as you still have a permanent residence there), or
you may vote at the polling place in your school-year neighborhood (but,
again, not at both places). |
Absentee Balloting - Students
If you are a student living away from your permanent hometown residence,
you may wish to vote by absentee ballot so that your voice is heard in your
hometown elections.
An absentee ballot conveniently allows you to vote either in person
before election day or by mail, without physically having to go to your
polling place on election day.
Make out a request by filling out an
online absentee ballot application and then
mail it to Rachel Dodge
at
the City of Orono, P.O. Box 66, Crystal Bay, MN 55323.
