Supervisor of Elections Joyce Griffin is reminding Monroe County voters that they must request vote-by-mail ballots through her office’s website or in person at her offices if they wish to receive ballots in the mail for upcoming elections.
“Many of our voters vote by mail. These voters may think that they already have a request in for the 2024 election cycle, but they do not,” Griffin said. “Please help me get the word out to our voters that they must request for 2024.”
The need to re-register for vote-by-mail ballots is due to a change in the law that states, “One request is deemed sufficient to receive a vote-by-mail ballot for all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election.”
“We are now taking vote-by-mail requests for the 2024 election cycle,” Griffin said.
In prior years, requests for mail-in ballots covered two years of elections. That is no longer the case.
Griffin’s office usually has received about 13,000 requests for mail-in ballots by now, but has only received less than 2,000 requests thus far.
