Bond Request Moved to June 2
As you likely already know the April 7 elections have been moved to June 2. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot will be May 20, and in-person absentee ballots may be cast until 5 p.m. June 1 — but because courthouses may be closed, people submitting in-person absentee ballots will need to contact their county's voting authority about submitting those ballots. The deadline for absentee ballots to be received by the election authority is 7 p.m. June 2. We will provide more updated information in the
coming
weeks. Please
watch
the website and social media.
