You must turn in your Absentee Ballot Request form to your county auditor's office between Aug. 29 and Oct. 23. Your county auditor will then mail you an absentee ballot you can fill an and return marked with your candidate choices. Those ballots must be returned to your county auditor - not mailed by, but in their office - by Election Day to be counted.
