Roberta Owens, Worth County Clerk, wishes to inform all registered voters that absentee ballots will be available in the County Clerk’s office by June 25th for the 2012 August Primary Election.  Anyone needing to vote absentee because of illness or absence from the polls on Election Day may do one of the following:

1)    Submit a request in writing by mail or fax and include: name, address, mailing address if different, signature, date of birth, and the last four digits of their social security number, party ballot
2)    Call the office for an absentee application
3)    Vote in person in the County Clerk’s office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. along with identification ie:  voter registration card, drivers license, utility bill
4)    Go to the county website at worthcounty.us and print the absentee form, fill it out, then mail it in.
