State law limits the availability of absentee ballots to the three listed circumstances only.
If you will be absent from Brookline for an extended period of time, you may submit a single application for all elections occurring within the year the application is accepted. Obtaining an Application for an Absentee Ballot Applications for absentee ballots may be obtained from the Town Clerk or the Office of the Secretary of State. Applications may be submitted in person, by mail or by fax. All applications must be signed under the pains and penalties of perjury by the voter, or a family member, before a ballot will be made available. Absentee ballots generally are available three weeks before an election.
