What is voting by sealed envelope ballot?
Voting by sealed envelope ballot is a provision by which a voter can make an application to receive an election ballot package delivered to them. The voter then marks the ballot and returns it in a sealed envelope to the Senior Election Official prior to the close of voting on Wednesday, October 26, 2022.
Eligible voters are permitted to vote by sealed envelope ballot if they are unable to go in person to a voting station due to a disability (including health risks), are providing care to a person who is unable to leave their home, or expect that on Election Day and the day or days of Advance Voting, they will be absent from their local authority, or, at a location so significantly distant from the location that they are eligible to vote at that it is not reasonably possible to vote at that location.
