Domestic Civilian Voters

The deadline to request a mailed absentee ballot for the November 5 General Election was Monday, October 21 at 5 PM. If you have not already requested a mailed ballot, we cannot mail you one.

In person early voting is still available.

Overseas and military voters have different deadlines and requirements (see below).

You must complete a separate request form for each election in which you want a mailed ballot. You cannot submit an Absentee Ballot Request Form online. Forms may be printed, picked up at our office, or we can mail one to you. Forms must be completed, including signature and date, and returned either through the mail or delivered to our office no later than 5:00 PM 15 days prior to the election (Monday, October 21).

Anyone may deliver a request form for another voter. More than one voter may return a request form in the same envelope.
