A week remains for registered voters in Stephens County to apply for absentee ballots to be mailed to them for the April 06, 2010 Marlow I-3 Annual School Runoff Election; City of Duncan Municipal General Election for Ward III and IV; and the Special School Bond Election for Duncan I-1, Stephens County Election Board Secretary Peggy Winton said today.

Any registered voter eligible to vote in the election may vote by absentee ballot without stating a reason, Winton said. Absentee voters may apply in person at the County Election Board office or they may send their applications by mail, by fax, or by telegraph.
Voters also may apply for absentee ballots for the following reasons:
* Registered voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may apply for absentee ballots only by mail, by fax, or by telegraph.
* Registered voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may apply only by mail, by fax, or by telegraph.
