Request an emergency ballot now for the Sept. 9 county wide election

Registered voters who become physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. Monday, August 25, 2025, and are unable to make it to the polls, still have an opportunity to cast their ballot.

McClain County Election Board Secretary Karen Haley, said that state law permits voters who become emergency incapacitated after 5 p.m. Monday August 25 to vote under special provisions. Haley said emergency incapacitation is something most voters don’t think about.

“Voting is our constitutional right, but life happens. Injury, illness, or even childbirth can prevent a voter from being able to go to the polls. That’s why it’s important to make sure voters know their rights in the event of an emergency.”
