If you are wondering why an absentee ballot application showed up in your mail, you are not alone.
Monroe County elections officials confirm they are sending out an application to all registered voters in the county even people who didn't ask for one.
The idea is to get ahead of an expected surge in requests before Election Day.
Many voters may want to vote by mail rather than go to a polling place during the pandemic.
Election commissioners say 30,000 applications have been filled out and sent back.
