Absentee Ballots
New Hampshire voters may vote by absentee ballot for specific reasons.
The reasons include; being absent from the voter’s city or town, a religious observance, disability or illness, and employment commitments (including caregiving) during the entire time the polls are open. Absentee ballots may also be available when a weather emergency impacts an election.
After you have applied for an absentee ballot, you can use the Voter Information Lookup to find out if your clerk has received your request, when the absentee ballot was sent to you, and when your clerk received your completed absentee ballot.
Request An Absentee Ballot
If you qualify to vote absentee, you will need to complete an absentee ballot application form (listed below) in pen or number 2 pencil only and return it to your local clerk.
