Important Information About Signature Updates

State law requires you to sign the voter certificate on the outside of your absentee ballot envelope.  It is important that your signature on the voter certificate match the signature we have on record.  Since it is common for signatures to change throughout the years, in order for your latest signature to be in our records, please submit a voter registration application in order to update our files with your latest signature.  You can indicate a signature update on Line #1 found on the top of the application.  Signature updates must be completed no later than the start of the canvassing of absentee ballots, which occurs no earlier than the 15th day before Election Day.
