Is absentee voting still available?

Yes. If you are qualified to vote by absentee ballot you may still do so. 

To apply for an absentee ballot you must be a registered voter who will be unable to vote at the polls on Election Day due to:

  • absence from the City of Fitchburg during normal polling hours; or
  • physical disability preventing you from going to the polling place; or
  • religious beliefs
