Emergency Rule for COVID-19



On June 25, 2020, Secretary of State John Merrill adopted an emergency rule for absentee voting for the 2020 municipal elections.

The emergency rule authorizes any qualified voter who determines it is impossible or unreasonable to vote at their polling place for the 2020 municipal election and runoff due to the declared state of emergency, to check the box on the absentee ballot application which reads: "I have a physical illness or infirmity which prevents my attendance at the polls."

Applications for absentee ballots are required, along with valid photo identification.

Applications can be made after the absentee deadline for Emergency Absentee Voting, but no later than 5pm on the day before the election, if a voter:

Applications can be made by a voter who has a medical emergency requiring treatment from a licensed physician within 5 days of an election. During that 5 day period, the medical emergency absentee ballot application and the voted absentee ballot must be returned no later than noon on the day the election is held. The medical emergency absentee ballot application requires that the attending physician describe and certify the circumstances as constituting an emergency. The voter may designate someone to turn in the medical emergency absentee ballot application, receive the absentee ballot on behalf of the voter, and return the voted absentee ballot to the City Clerk on behalf of the voter.​
