OMAHA- Some Douglas County voters will receive early voting ballot applications for the November general election beginning this week, but the applications will look different from years past.

The only difference in this years ballots is the color. Due to a shortage, the applications will be white instead of green.

In order to receive a mail in ballot, voters must first fill out an early ballot application. Those applications must be returned by October 28th.

But the process for obtaining an application depends on the county a voter lives in. That’s because some counties keep lists of voters who prefer to vote early and automatically send them applications, while others keep no such list and require that voters seek out an application each election.

Douglas County keeps an early voting request list. By checking a box on the early voting application, voters there can be added to a list and will automatically be mailed an application before each election. The application must be completed each election to receive an early ballot.
