Voting by mail

If you plan to vote by mail ballot (either mail-in or absentee), you must request your ballot by the April 16 deadline. You can request it here.

If you are concerned about receiving your mail ballot in time, you can apply in person at your county board of elections office, fill out the ballot while you are there, and submit it all in one visit. If you choose this option, be sure to contact your county board of elections office first to verify their hours and to ensure their mail ballots are ready.

There are four steps for completing and returning your mail ballot:

Read the instructions and mark your ballot with a blue or black pen. There may be races on the back of your ballot, so be sure to check both sides.

Seal your ballot in the inner secrecy envelope marked “official election ballot.” Do not make any marks on the secrecy envelope. You must seal your ballot in this envelopefor it to be counted.

Place the inner secrecy envelope in the pre-addressed outer return envelope. You must sign and write the current date on the voter’s declaration on the outer envelope before you return it to your county board of elections.

Return your completed ballot to your county board of elections office – either by mail, in person, or at a drop box. Check here to see if your county offers drop boxes or a satellite drop-off location.

Your mail ballot must be received by your county board of elections by 8 p.m. April 23. Mail ballots received after that time, even if postmarked by 8 p.m. April 23, will not count.

You are the only person permitted to return your ballot unless you have a disability and have designated an agent in writing to return your ballot using this form.
