Absentee voting started Tuesday for the April 2 General Municipal Election

Greene County Clerk Shane Schoeller announced that absentee voting started Tuesday, Feb. 19, for those eligible voters who are unable to go to their regular polling place on April 2 for the General Municipal Election. In Greene County, the April ballot includes a wide variety of candidates and/or issues in nine cities, 11 school districts and two fire protection districts.
Absentee ballots may be voted in the clerk’s office at the Greene County Archives/Elections Center, 1126 N Boonville Ave, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, until the day before the election. Homebound or out-of-town voters may request an absentee ballot by mail, either handwritten or from the fillable form that can be found on the county’s website. These requests must now be signed by the voters and received in the clerk’s office no later than 5 p.m., March 20, the second Wednesday prior to the election, rather than the Wednesday prior as in previous elections, due to a change in state statute. Mailed ballots must be voted, notarized, returned by mail, and received in the clerk’s office before 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Questions about absentee voting should be directed to Schoeller’s office at 868-4060 or at:
