Absentee Labels

Absentee Labels: A quick guide

Step 1: From the Main Menu in the VAN go to Create a New List.

Step 2: From Create a New List choose the Absentee tab.

Step 3: Fill in the boxes with information. (Remember to exclude already voted.)

For label printing, choose to include only those voters who have requested an absentee and have not already voted within the desired dates.

We do not receive the exact 'Mailed a Ballot From' date from the state, but their turnaround from receiving the request to mailing out the ballot is typically same day or next day.

Step 4: Select Run Search and pull in your results.

Step 5: Choose labels from the menu on the list preview page.

Step 6: Fill in the Print Labels Page.
