Vote by mail applications close on MONTH DAY, YEAR

Information on how to apply for mail-in voting would be located here. The city website no longer has it up and I did not have time to hunt it down this week. This is just filler now.

How to return your mail ballot

You can only return your mail ballot by drop-off into the brass mail box at the main entrance of City Hall (453 W 12th Ave). All mail ballots must be received by 8:00pm on October 14, 2017.
