Absentee electors in military service

Absentee electors in military service are not required to be registered to vote. They may file an Official Military Application Form; Federal Form Number 76, distributed by the United States Department of Defense; or any other official absentee ballot application form to request an absentee ballot. An application may be submitted only by the elector or an adult family member. Application may be made before 5 PM on the Friday before the election.

A military elector who is home on election day and has not voted an absentee ballot may, if registered, appear at their district polling place and vote. In the event the military elector is not registered, they may apply in person and vote at the office of the county board of elections.
