ABSENTEE VOTING
In Person
In person absentee voting will begin on September 22nd, 2023, and run for 45 days in the Voter Registration Office, Rm 135, at the County Complex in Eastville. Voting is open from 9 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday, and we will also be open on the two Saturdays before the election, October 28, and November 4th from 9 am - 5 pm as well. Please bring a valid ID to vote.
In order to better serve our voters, we offer curb-side voting during in person absentee voting. Simply pull into the handicapped space in front of the office that is marked for curb side voting and alert the staff by either calling (678-0480) or coming into the office. You will be asked to bring in the ID of the curb side voter in the car, and then a voting assistant will bring out the voting package for the voter.
By Mail
Absentee by mail voting begins on September 22nd as well. You may request a mailed ballot at any time from now until October 27th. You can go to the Department of Elections website to apply for a ballot, or contact the office to request that we send you an application for a ballot. Here is a fillable pdf that you can fill out and submit by either email or regular mail.
We will be using the same processes for absentee by mail that we have in the last elections: you will need a witness for your ballot; postage is pre-paid for the return envelope; and if you make any mistakes with your ballot, we will help you ‘cure’ your mistake so your ballot can be counted.
Northampton does not use ballot drop off boxes. Instead voters can return their ballots in person at the Voter Registration Office during normal business hours, and at their polling place on Election Day.
