Absentee Ballots

Any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot. Voters may request an absentee ballot by completing the request form from the back of their sample ballot and mailing it to the Registrar of Voters. It is not necessary to wait for your sample ballot to request an absentee ballot. You may send a card or letter to the Registrar of Voters requesting an absentee ballot. Your request must state your name, residence address in Lake County, the address to which the ballot is to be mailed (if different than your residence) and your signature. Request should be mailed to:

Registrar of Voters
255 North Forbes Street
Lakeport, CA 95453

You may also fax your request to 707-263-2742

The Registrar of Voters is precluded by law from sending an absentee ballot based on a telephone request. You must request an absentee ballot in writing. Written requests, by mail, must be received by the registrar no later than seven days before an election.

Voters may also cast absentee ballots in person in the office of the Registrar of Voters during the absentee voting period. The absentee voting period begins twenty-nine days before an election and extends until the close of polls on election day. Regular office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The office is open until 8:00 PM on election days.
