PERMANENT ABSENTEE VOTER BALLOT LIST

For your convenience, the City of Flushing maintains a permanent Absent Voter Ballot (AVB) List.  Should you choose to be on this list, prior to every election you will receive through the mail an Application to Vote (or a “dual” application in years where there is a primary and a general election) that you must sign and return to our office to consent for us to send you a ballot.  After you have signed and returned the Application to Vote for the applicable election(s), you will receive a ballot when they have been printed and delivered to us.  If you choose not to vote, or not to vote by AVB, in any given election simply do not send back the Application to Vote, and you will not receive a ballot.
