According to the Elections Division, Douglas County has 165,000 registered voters. 50,000 of these voters are inactive and did not vote in the last two years.
The County's new mail-in ballot form (called the "Combination Voter Registration & Mail-In Ballot Application") has several purposes: voter registration, permanent mail-in ballot registration, and/or one-time mail-in ballot registration. It is available here.
The deadline to request a permanent mail-in ballot for the 2008 election is June 15.
To remain on the County's list of active voters, you must vote at least every other year (2008, 2010, 2012...), OR fill out the new mail-in ballot form.
Even if you have signed up for mail-in/absentee ballots in the past, you need to fill out the form to receive forthcoming mail-in ballots.
Voters can choose to receive mail-in ballots for every election. The County calls this option the "Permanent Mail-In Ballot." Please don't let the word "Permanent" fool you. If a voter wants to start voting at a polling place again, they can change their status at any time.
