Voter Information & Eligibility

Feb. 11, 2025 – 10 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Waterville Jr./Sr. High School Cafeteria

Absentee ballot voting is available. The new Early Mail Voter Act effective Jan. 1, 2024, also allows for early voting via mail without any reasons needed for voting early. You must fill out an application to vote by early voting or absentee ballot. There are separate applications for voting by early voting or absentee ballot, but the application process and deadlines are the same for both.

Absentee and early mail ballot applications for the Feb. 11 proposed capital project vote will be available beginning on Jan. 29 in the District Office. Early mail voting is similar to absentee voting, but requires no reason as to why in person voting is not possible. The voter must indicate only that they are qualified and wish to vote early by mail.

To obtain an application for either type of ballot, please call Jennifer Nichols, District Clerk, at (315) 841-3816, or email jnichols@watervillecsd.org.

The completed ballot must be received by 8 p.m. on Feb. 11, 2025 (the day of the vote).

According to school board policy (Policy 2200), to be eligible to vote you must be:

• A citizen of the United States;
• At least eighteen years of age;
• A resident within the school district for a period of thirty days preceding the election at which such person offers to vote;
