STEPS TO VOTE BY ABSENTEE BALLOT
As soon as the official notice of the vote (time and content) are posted via legal notice in the designated newspapers (Cazenovia Republican and Oneida Daily Dispatch) eligible voters of the Cazenovia Central School District may request an absentee ballot by completing an application. There must be a legitimate reason for requesting an absentee ballot (i.e. military service, duties, occupation, vacation, college student, etc). A voter may request more than one application if doing so on behalf of another eligible voter.
A list of all voters to whom an absentee ballot was issued will be kept on file in the District Office and available for inspection by any eligible voter during regular business hours for the five business days preceeding the vote.

Applications can be obtained in multiple ways as follows:

After you receive your absentee ballot you must return it either by mail or in person, and it must be received by the District Clerk no later than the day of the vote. It must be returned in its completed, corresponding envelope in order to be counted.
