Applications for Absentee Ballots Available October 6
Absentee ballots will be available for those unable to get to the polls for the City of Gaithersburg municipal elections on November 8, 2011. Up for election are three at-large seats on the Gaithersburg City Council. Candidates running in this election are Jud Ashman, Cathy C. Drzyzgula, Paula Ross, Tom Rowse, and Ryan Spiegel.
Registered voters within the City limits are entitled to cast an absentee ballot for this election without needing to give a reason. Chapter 6C of the Gaithersburg City Code permits “no excuse” absentee voting, allowing qualified voters to cast an absentee ballot without the requirement that the voter be away from the City on Election Day.
Beginning October 6, 2011, applications for absentee ballots will be available at City Hall during normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Voters may also request an absentee ballot by calling 301-258-6310 x 2172 or may download an application online after October 6.
Completed applications can be mailed or dropped off at City Hall, 31 South Summit Avenue, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877. The application must contain the qualified voter’s signature, printed name, current legal residential address within the City, any mailing address different from the residential address and, if applicable, the authorized agent.
After approval of the application, an absentee ballot will be mailed. Residents who are approved for an absentee ballot after November 2 must pick up their absentee ballot at City Hall during normal business hours. Absentee ballots may be returned to City Hall in person up to and including the time of closing of the polls on Election Day. All mailed absentee ballots must be received by November 8, 2011.
For complete election information please contact Lauren Klingler in the office of the City Attorney at 301-258-6310 x2172 or visit the City's website at www.gaithersburgmd.gov/elections.
