Marion County Clerk Vickie Smith is reminding Marion County, Texas, residents the time to request a Ballot by Mail for Absentee Voting in the March primary election is fast approaching and that requests must be received, and not just postmarked, by the deadline.
Marion County, Texas Registered Voters: Just a reminder that the last day to apply for Ballot by Mail is February 21, 2020 (Received, not postmarked). Remember, this is a Primary Election, so you must declare one political party to vote.
You can submit an Application for Ballot by Mail if you meet one of the following criteria:
• Will be away from your county on Election Day and during the hours that early voting will be conducted.
• Are sick or disabled
• Are 65 years of age or older on Election Day
If you submit an Application for Ballot by Mail because you will be out of the county, you must provide an address out of the county to mail the ballot.
“We cannot mail a ballot to your home address (per the Election Code),” said Smith.
If you would like an Application for Ballot by Mail or have any questions concerning the upcoming Primary Elections, please call the County Clerk’s office at 903-665-3971.
Early Voting Begins Tuesday, February 18, 2020 and ends Friday, February 28, 2020, excluding weekends. Early voting will be conducted at the Marion County Election Building located at 504 N. Ally St., Jefferson, TX.
