Vote by Mail ballots are available for any registered voter for any elections. For the 2020 General Election, all active, registered voters will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot. Ballots will be mailed by Monday, October 5th.
Voters will be able to return ballots by mail, using a ballot drop box, in-person at their County Board of Elections, or at their polling place on Election Day. All ballots returned through the mail must be postmarked by November 3rd and received no later than 8 pm, November 10th. Ballots that lack postmarks due to postal error received by November 5th will be valid. Ballots returned in-person or in drop boxes must be returned by 8 pm on Election Day, November 3rd. All ballots will include a return envelope with first class prepaid postage.
If you do not receive your vote-by-mail ballot or if you need a replacement ballot, you should contact your County Clerk. If you need to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot, you can apply through the mail or in-person. To receive your ballot by mail, the applications must be received by your County Clerk by October 23. You can apply in-person to your County Clerk prior to 8 pm, November 3rd (Election Day).
