諾克斯縣選民申請即將到來的初選缺席投票截止日期將屆
Knox County voters face deadline to request absentee ballots for upcoming primary
隨著初選即將到來，諾克斯郡的選民請注意，申請缺席投票的截止日期正在迅速逼近。
As the primary election approaches, voters in Knox County are reminded that the deadline to request an absentee ballot is rapidly approaching.
選舉官員強調，該截止日期並非目標日期，而是最後的緩衝時限。
Election officials stress that the deadline is not a target but rather a final fallback.
由於田納西州法律規定，選舉辦公室必須在特定日期前收到申請（而非僅限於郵戳日期），因此提早提交申請對於確保您的選票獲得計算至關重要。
Because Tennessee law requires the election office to receive the application by a specific date—not just have it postmarked—submitting requests early is vital to ensure your vote is counted.
若要在田納西州採用郵寄投票，選民必須符合特定資格，例如年滿60歲或以上、身體殘障，或因工作或求學而不在當地。
To vote by mail in Tennessee, voters must meet specific eligibility requirements, such as being 60 or older, having a disability, or being away for work or study.
申請時，請確保表格填寫完整，包含您的社會安全號碼以及您本人的親筆簽名。
When applying, ensure your form is complete, including your Social Security number and your original, personal signature.
請注意，配偶的簽名無效。
Note that spousal signatures are not valid.
一旦收到選票，請記得它必須通過郵寄方式寄回；不允許親自送交至辦公室或投票站。
Once you receive your ballot, remember that it must be returned by mail; hand-delivering ballots to the office or polling stations is not permitted.
