Voters may choose reason "2A My disability or illness" for absentee voting in the June elections due to COVID-19. No supporting information is required using “2A My disability or illness.”  

Voters who choose the absentee option should do so as soon as possible so they can get their ballots in time to return them by mail by Election Day.
