If you are registered to vote, you may apply for an absentee ballot in person at your county election board, by U.S. mail, by fax, or by means of electronic communication.

You will be informed if you provide a name, birth date, or ID number that does not match your voter registration record, along with information and instruction to contact your county election board. If your voter registration record does not contain your birth date and identification number, you will not be eligible to apply for an absentee ballot by means of electronic communication. Instead, you may apply in person at your county election board, by U.S. mail, or by fax; and in such event, your absentee ballot application shall be accepted without a match of your birth date or an ID number.
There is no process to “cure” (fix) your ballot if it is rejected.
