    The qualifying information forms must be returned to the Election Commission Office by noon on April 1. However, officials are recommending they be returned as early as possible.

    “We are urging people to bring them in way ahead of time, so that we can check them and make sure they have done everything according to law,” Stan Dobson, Administrator of Elections, said.

    Monday was also the first day that ballots can be requested by members of the military for absentee voting by mail.
