MONROE - Absentee voting will be administered starting at 9 a.m. Friday, Aug. 8 in the dining room at Monroe Manor Nursing Home.
Special voting deputies, appointed by the City of Monroe, will be administering absentee voting for the residents of the facility for the spring election. Any qualified elector who is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place on Election Day may request to vote an absentee ballot. A qualified elector is any U.S. citizen who will be 18 years of age or older on Election Day and who has resided in the ward or municipality where he or she wishes to vote for a least 28 consecutive days before the election. The elector must also be registered in order to receive an absentee ballot.
Only observers from each of the two recognized political parties whose candidates for governor or president received the greatest number of votes in the municipality at the most recent general election may accompany the deputies to each facility where absentee voting will take place. The observers may observe the process of absentee ballot distribution in the common areas of the home, facility or complex. Each party wishing to have an observer present shall submit the name of the observer to the city clerk no later than the close of business on the last business day prior to the visit.
Family members of residents may be present at the time of voting.
